Thanks Mary for the picture offer. We have 2 couples that were friends 40 years ago that live in TV. They offered to keep track during the building process and also our agent sent us photo's which kept us on the edge of our seats with a running account as the house went up. The house is now complete and waiting for us to show up on July 7th to close. Many thanks for your offer.

Darn, I thought this thread was going to go the way of the hot garage.

We have raccoons in our neighborhood in Virginia Trace. Sometimes they find the chicken bones in the trash, even though I double wrap the bones. :icon_hungry: Or maybe I shouldn't blame the raccoons... We also have wild kitties.

torn trash bags
 

There are also coyotes, possums, skunks, and wild cats. DH sprayed the outside of the bags with ammonia, but now sprays inside before sealing and again outside and it's stopped whatever critter was tearing the bags and making a mess.
