Tyler - I feel for you! I ripped my abductor my hamstring and glute from leg doing the splits skating a pool at 50. Whole leg turned black then blue then orange. They never even offered surgery. Took me a year to walk normally again and 3 years until I could push anything with it.

Speaking of pools - the ordeal continues. They finally came out and backfilled the plumbing then nothing. We are pouring the deck on Monday and told them they better get it pressure tested before then. They came out on Thursday and the project manager totally screwed it up so another crew came out yesterday and sealed it all up and then pressure tested it right away and blew out the joints they just glued. Re-glued it, waited and then filled it to 25 pounds. Recommended is 60 psi test and then 35 over night. This morning it is at ten pounds and nobody is answering. I am so screwed. Do I dig it up myself and try to find the leak? Do I cancel the concrete truck?

Any suggestions?

Freaking,
Mo

Another vote for cancel the truck. :hug:

My nephew almost pissed his pants today when here for a picnic because he was afraid to come in my house to use the bathroom....He heard us talking of snakes... He's like 25 y.o. and autistic. It took some convincing it was safe to enter.

Another Realtor was just telling me she showed a house with a stone basement and there were hundreds of snakes crawling out of the stones....small green snakes, like a a scene from Indiana Jones. I'm afraid to send a camera into my fireplace crawl space for fear of what I might see. No lie!!

That's exactly what I need...I seriously have no idea how to deal with this. Maybe put a couple Wyze cameras pointed at the fireplace where I think they might be coming in. If I could figure out how and where, I could plug it up, but I'm clueless. And I can't use glue traps outdoors or I'll kill birds and such. I'm not really too worried about it, but it does have a big "ick" factor! I wish I liked snakes, I really do, but they just give me the willies!

The problem is I haven't found any cracks big enough for them to get in...And it's a big floor to ceiling, 2 flue, brick chimney with fireplace. That's why I was thinking pointing a few cameras at it for a few days might possibly show me where they enter / exit.... I assume they must come out to sun. I'll post a pic or 2
