As we climbed into bed last night, we heard some noise up on the roof. Andy went over to the window to investigate and caught a raccoon trying to get into our attic. I guess the cooler weather makes them look for warmer places to live??? We were able to scare him away by turning on all the outdoor lights. Andy went out to investigate once the coast was clear, and tons of installation had been pulled out and a hole had been started. Andy was worried further damage would be done if the raccoon decided to come back and we didn't want the raccoon to succeed at getting into our attic. That would make this little project a BIG project! So, he got to work. He had some leftover chicken wire from our shower remodel and put that to use. Luckily hammering the chicken wire to the roof eave didn't wake up any of the children. For now this should work to keep the varmint away. We got to bed around 1 am and luckily didn't hear the raccoon the rest of the evening. This time we can't blame our kids on being tired... :)
