    And they poop all over.

    Cheap 100% efficient mouse trap for basements, cabins, barn or ????

    5 gallon plastic bucket.

    Ad about 4 inches of water to bucket

    Smear Peanut butter around inside the bucket about 6 inches down from the rim.

    Park the bucket in a place with easy access by the critters.


    Just don't forget to check the trap daily...or every other day.

    Forgetting to check will result in a nasty smelly mess to carry out and dump. :picard:

    We keep one of these in the basement all winter......

    Safe around pets...no poison, critters don't run off and die somewhere you can't find them AND THEN SMELL BAD

    I put a bucket in the van a while back and overnight we caught 4 mice.

    Toooooooooooooooooo easy.... :thumbs:

    I use the victor traps. I like to see where they end up landing after they snap and fly across the room .:thumbs:

    Picked up a P68 a couple weeks ago to refurbish. Decided to install it in the house to see what all this Hormoan talk is about. :D

    My son in law stopped by and helped wrestle the big gen onto the roll about dolly.

    Got the dolly situated under the Gen set and fastened to the skid :yes:

    Took some pics too...

    How old is that P68 that it needed refurbishing? It looks newer since it has the mirrored glass - or was that part of the refurbish?

    Nice area rug across from the stove :D

    It's an '07...doesn't really need anything, maybe a door gasket and paint. I'm not going to do anything to it until I decide to sell it (if I sell it)

    If you burn it for any length of time during the mid-winter heating season, you'll be hooked.

    Went to town for brunch and decided to stop on the way home and get a battery for the Genny...
    Got a 340 CCA Die hard..

    Stuffed it in and "LETITRIP"




    I need to get a longer propane hose to run from the regulator unit to the tank.

    The one there is only good for a BBQ size tank.

    I plan on getting some 100 pound tanks (3 possibly)

    Once I get the new hose I will connect the BBQ TANK and go for a fire up.... :yes:

    The fact that the engine spins really well and has compression on both cylinders is a good indicator that things should go well.....:D WE can hope

    The daughter stopped by a bit ago.

    Had to hear about all the drama at their house..

    They had been having some sort of critter digging up the flower beds and rocks in the area around the house.

    The decided to set a live trap and then relocate whatever it is that was disturbing stuff.

    Yeah buddy..
    Caught one of those CATS WITH THE RACING STRIPE :picard:

    Little dude made a really bad smell in the area.
    Son in law carefully wrapped the trap in a tarp and and loaded it in the truck and hauled the little creature about 4 miles out into the bushes and released it.

    BUT THE HOUSE STINKS......
