That's always the fun part. When I did the demolition of my kitchen a few years back, that including stripping everything down to the subfloor and wall studs, I counted no less than 4 rat skeletons stuck in the wall cavities.

usedtajump 1 #16 February 2, 2010 Does that ever bring back memories. The first automobile wreck I was ever involved in was with one of those. Backed a large 1959 GMC panel truck completely over the rear end of it. Talk about a pissed off AH owner, he'd only had it two months and it was a high school graduation present from his dad. The older I get the less I care who I piss off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
