Well I don't guess we'll be selling the house after all!!!
This story starts sometime last week when the basement door apparently got left open a couple times with all the youngins running in and out to the lake and outside to play. Skip to Sunday around 11am, I've been at hunting camp working all weekend and prepping things for deer season. I'm getting ready do a couple more things at the hunting camp and then head home. Unbeknownst to us a slithery critter had crawled in the open basement door. The wife calls crying and almost incoherent telling me there's a snake in the basement, and she's leaving and not coming home til I catch it. I am the snake whisperer if ya didn't already know. I'm usually just telling the snakes they're about to loose their heads. However I don't normally kill non poisonous snakes. Anyway I grabbed a couple things to make a snake catch pole, rushed home and tore the basement apart trying to find the critter, even ripped up stair treads to make sure the SOB wasn't hiding under there. I looked everywhere but No critter to be found. She thinks I think she's gone bonkers and seeing
. And she thinks I don't believe her. I did believe her. We go to lowes and buy $30 worth of big : rat glue pans, strategically place them in the basement. We also set up one of my trail cams and the waiting begins. Checking the traps and camera several times a day. Meanwhile the wife will not go the basement without an escort. But I was starting to wonder if she wasn't in fact seeing when she's calls me again yesterday stating there's a snake hanging out of the gutter at the front door. We have a 2 story house with a 12/12 Pitch, snakes thrown from a plane is about the only way one could get up there. So During rush hour traffic I give a little extra push to big reds peddle. I get home and sure enough there's something sticking out of the gutter about 2" and at first glance I did look like a snake head. Well I examine it a second and immediately knew it was a STICK! Grab the broom and go out and brush it away, of course it falls near her and I get the stink eye and she got all excited again thinking I did it on purpose. Snakes in the house snakes on the house! We selling this freaking house! Well I check the traps as soon as I get home today and sure enough something
Big had gotten caught in one by the door but pulled loose next to the dresser and wall. I knew he was In the room because the traps at the next door were untouched, the search is on! Took me only a few minutes to find him. I grab my redneck snake pole and a flash light and go in. It was actually very easy to catch him and in seconds he was on the pole squirming for freedom. Freedom was not in this snakes future, as he wasn't gonna get a second chance to enter my domain again. Plus the wife would never have any peace if I had turned him loose. The wife got some relief from her snake worries and I am now off the hook and am the great savior protector of my domain again. If she's happy I'm happy and that was accomplished with a beheading of the trespassing SOB. And I still get To go deer hunting this year.!
So the house is now not for sale!!!!
