House of Holes

Everywhere I look there are holes in my house, outside and inside !
Bruce, mr. pest control, says this is nothing !  "You should see some of the places I go to."
Holes in the stone in the front of the house, holes in every basement window, holes in the eaves up near the peak of the roof, holes in crevices, it seems the more holes I see, the more I see.....

But Bruce is convinced he can plug up all the holes. He's got some strange looking foam that fills in entire windows !   He's made a wire cage like part to go over a piece of the roof, looks awful, but if it keeps out squirrels, chipmunks, mice, and anything else that crawls, walks or gallops, so be it !


And I am beginning the inside hole plugging.

At Lowes I get a patch kit and start applying the patch and then I slather on spackle, it looks more like I'm frosting a cake, but I'll do the best I can.

(And by the way, I 'd rather be frosting a cake !

Two holes done, several more to go.
