When I confronted HeWho moved us all to the God forsaken frozen tundra, he told me that this applied more to older homes and swore there was something in place that would not allow back flow, therefore, it was rat free. Most likely the kind of bull$hit that seems to flow freely from his mouth. Because you hear about sewer back-ups all the time!Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-4230728760289828512022-07-02T14:23:29.188-05:002022-07-02T14:23:29.188-05:00Yeah, he's been living there 2 and a half mont...Yeah, he's been living there 2 and a half months, and this is the first.

Not like the "Don't Worry, Be Happy"-singing slugs in that 2006 cartoon movie "Flushed Away."<br /><br />It's not like I would lie in wait to kill the slugs on my sidewalk, or comb through the grass looking for them! I had two lilac bushes, a light and a dark color, and three rosebushes at my $17,000 house. Oh, I take no credit for them! They were there when I bought it. But I did like to walk out in the evening and sniff the roses. If those slugs were on the sidewalk, they got sizzled!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-32157790454792952152022-07-02T00:13:03.097-05:002022-07-02T00:13:03.097-05:00I think maybe Hick was just pointing out that this...I think maybe Hick was just pointing out that this was no reflection on his workmanship. Nothing to do with his plumbing, hooking up the water pipes. That the slug was from the main sewer line that has been there for 100 years.<br /><br />Now you've got me worried about The Pony getting a rat bite on his rumpus!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-82462102058620841042022-07-01T21:47:50.558-05:002022-07-01T21:47:50.558-05:00I hate stepping on slugs.

We subscribed to the news paper and one of the very first stories I read was a cautionary tale about rats that would appear in toilets. Freaked me out. I had to turn the lights on in the middle of the night and I always looked in the toilet before lowering my butt to the seat!Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.com
