You may have bats in your soffit. A squirrel may have initially torn or chewed the vent off, had babies and left. Now, you might have bats in there. You won't hear them at night because they are out feeding. They return at dawn and are active for a few hours until the sleep during the day. Sit in a chair about 20 feet from the soffit right before dark, if you have bats you'll see them fly out of the vent shortly before it gets fully dark. If you have bats, let them all leave (it may take an hour or two), then block the vent with tape or something so they can't get back in. They will find another place to roost.

Last month, my prescription medicines made it from Chicago to Baton Rouge in 3 days. Then, they sat in Baton Rouge for 19 days.

Louisiana tax question

My wife and I bought a vacant lot 7 years ago with the intent of building a new house. But we never built a new house. We bought an existing home instead. The value of our vacant lot has increased significantly. Question: If we apply the profit from the sale of the lot towards improvements to our existing home, may we avoid paying taxes on the profit?

re: Squirrels on the roof

Posted by 2BRKnot on 3/17/25 at 11:20 am
If you have lead sleeves over your roof vent jacks, the squirrels are probably chewing on the lead. This is bad. It can create a gap between the sleeve and the jack that will allow rain to travel to the roof sheathing and even the attic. You can prevent this by installing protective cover over the jack. It's called a Critter Quitter, from Home Depot.

Ok, well for anyone else reading this thread, don't hire Acadian Kitchen & Bath.

They will frick you.


In what way? Quality of work? Price?
I am thinking about meeting with Acadian House Design & Renovation (I think you were referring to them).
Thanks.
The answer is Habitat for Humanity of Greater Baton Rouge.

Sorry for the delay, Bob. I forgot about this post.
I have reduced output from the shower head and the tub faucet. My shower head was not changed. I only changed the cartridge in the single control mechanism.
That's about right.

500 mg of magnesium glycinate, 500 mg valerian root, 3-5 mg of melatonin 30 minutes before going to bed.

re: Boat Tune Ups - good backyard shop?

You can do this yourself. I did, and I'm no mechanic - believe me. 225hp Yamaha 4-stroke. I found videos on YouTube. I changed the spark plugs, as well as the cylinder head anodes and grommets. I also changed the motor oil and filter, and the lower case oil. And I changed the water separator filter in the bilge. Easy as pie.
I ordered everything from SIM Yamaha (simyamaha.com).
Mine stay on trickle charge year round.

His radio show is worse. He repeats the same list of Biden failures and Trump successes several times each show, day after day.
Zappas, thank you for the foam pipe insulation idea. Once again, I've learned something I hadn't thought of. TD is a storehouse of information. :cheers:

I changed the 20 year-old cartridge in my Delta shower a couple of years ago and the water pressure dropped about 20%, but it doesn't bother me. A 50% drop would be intolerable. I used an OEM cartridge. Maybe the newer cartridges are designed to output less.
