As most of you know, we train bird dogs and have a kennel. As with most things on a ranch...it tends to have mice in it occasionally :? When we built it we had that spray foam insulation put in it (which for some reason mice like). The mice chew it up and then it plugs up the gutter, the kennel has it's own septic tank. We had a piece of sheet rock up behind a wood stove and the mice had gotten between the sheetrock and the foam and really set up shop! So we took it down...YUCK :!: Tunnels, nests, dogfood, and mice everywhere :shock: So got it all cleaned up, then the gutter plugged up.

Of course a septic tank full of dog doo doo does not smell real good. I was the lucky one to run the plumbers snake up the pipe till we got all the foam, dog hair and guck out of the line.

Then I got to go under the house cause we also had a mouse problem in the house (wall somehow got pushed out enough for mice to come in :mad: . So I crawled around putting in steel wool and spray foam everywhere I could. Almost got stuck once (and I'm not very big), the flashlight quit on me. And I ended up with foam all over me (hard to spray it when you're under a house with very little room and can't see what you're doing) in my hair, on my clothes and all over my arms.

Just another day on the ranch :)
