Fixing the attic take 1
Who: Radagast
Exercise type: Attempting to plug a hole in the attic that rats were entering through
Duration: ~2 hours
Notes: We recently caught a roof rat that was living in our garage, and had figured out that it was living in our attic (gaining entrance through a 2" wide hole under the eaves next to the chimney). Today we observed more roof rats outside, so Radagast took a couple of hours mid-day to attempt to fix it. The hole is about as far away from the attic entry as possible, requiring dodging under numerous beams to get there, and is about 3' away from the furthest point I can reach. I made a couple of trips up and back, but ended up not having the right size wood to patch the hole.
