!! Munch-n-Crunch UPDATE !!

Well... haven't gotten around to sealing the underbelly but I closed off the two entrances to under the home that've been left open for 19 years.
Guess what... it seems to have happened instantly, but there is no more gnawing / gnashing / ripping / shredding / chewing on the bottom of the floorboards at night!! It must have been SQUIRRELS doing it - since I've put up the s-o-l-i-d barricades I guess they can't get in!! There are still a few holes the weed-whacker has created (small enough for mice to get through) in the under-skirting but the noises have not returned so it MUST have been the squirrels!! I guess I need to take out the trusty bb gun and do some good ole target practicin'.... get some vittles set up for the crock pot...
So - I guess I have a "late winter" project - to the underskirting and FINISH it and repair the underbelly and furnace runs under the house.
