Attic climbing gym for etk

In the meantime, you can make a mouse trap bucket.   5 gal bucket.  Wire hanger in middle of bucket with a can lathered with peanut butter. and ramps to the can.   Fill bucket halfway with water and it'll drown.

None of these would go for that. Way too skittish especially with the animals around. I’ve tried traps like that before and they only work with hungry mice or in a very quiet place where they will go cross country in the open.

Rosie got this one for me. It got out of my barrier and under the fridge again. I had her keep watch while I moved the fridge and it was done.

I ordered the 24"x4" insulation from Lowes.  Pickup date change 4 times and now is cancelled .

I ordered 24" wide from lowes and HD and both orders were cancelled without explanation.   Went with standard and cut, it wasn't that bad.  Removed a closet, standard size, it had about 80' of 2x4 and painted yellow for some reason haha.  Walls are insulated, baffled and back up.  Going to pull 2 corners back down to add some studs for support.  Making progress.

I have practically no ice-cycles while surrounding houses have 6 footers.  Nice to see all this work has done something! 

I have some more knob & tube to deal with and then I can finish insulation.  Will be fairly easy except for one hallway light I'm not sure how I'm going to fish it.  Might have to cut a hole in the attic floor to get to it, but not a big deal.  Should be the last k&t in the house.  This is the third circuit that I've found connected to the same k&t in the second floor ceiling

I fucking hate this project.  Ceiling is finally done after months of procrastination.  It is a giant jigsaw puzzle.  Nothing is straight, level, even, consistent or otherwise.  Each piece had to be cut on all 4 sides into some sort of parallelogram(?) shape.  It's been a while since geometry class.

In positive news, last month my heating was cut by 1/2 and AC cut by 1/3 compared to last year which had practically the same high/low average temp.
