Caught in the act!

Sam was caulking some cracks in Berdy's house after he and David removed a gutter. No more than 5 feet away, a very oblivious skunk found it necessary to enter the crawlspace under the porch. Sam was shocked but maintained his composure and because of the double stripe, chose not to shoo it away as it ambled through a hole in the screen! Now what to do???

So a trip to Lowe's and some quality time with the saws-all produced a double layer of plastic lattice that is likely to keep critters of this size from activities such as this. Mostly installed, but what if we trap someone inside??? Or, worse yet, what if there are babies inside? 

So the trusty trail camera produced evidence that very night. Skunkie didn't need a large gaping hole, but slithered through another hole! 



So now, the hole that was used is covered, and we'll see what the camera shows us tomorrow! Sam thinks that the skunk can get out the one-way door of lattice, but we'll see.
