Got a call from the builder yesterday to tie up some lose ends on a couple of things and he informed me that some of the plumbing boxes had been ripped open and the parts strewn about on the floor. Bandits? Anarchists? Kids already bored with Summer? No. Not vandals--at least not of the human variety. Probably a raccoon who also gnawed on the blue board in the bathroom. Is this a threat, a not-so-subtle message to get out of the neighborhood? Gee, I haven't even moved in yet. I hadn't considered raccoon which can be very pesky! I was more worried about coyote, deer and rabbits eating any plants I might want to set out.
I asked Bill the builder if there was anything we could do and he said once the garage door was on, that would help. Sure hope the critters that live there will learn to live in peace with me. Otherwise, I'm investing in a live trap! See the evidence below.
For goodness sake!!! I'll bet you freaked when you saw this for the first time!!! Who would've thought the wildlife would do such a thing, but they don't know any better, HA! Hope this doesn't happen again, Sharon. -Sally Robbins
ReplyDeleteGolly...looks like a live trap may be in order. I'm sure all the wildlife will welcome you into their neighborhood in time, and you will quickly learn how to not tempt them, haha.
