  Thanks very much, I can’t believe I didn’t think of this - I think I was just so frazzled by the alarms blaring my brain couldn’t think properly. I’ll be lifting up the floor for a look tomorrow!

  Thanks very much, looks like tomorrow will herald my inauguration into carpet lifting!

  Hey just so you know - those combination key locks take mere seconds to brute force. I’d recommend not using it if you have anything of value - even tools - inside.

  Or just lift it all and install it again but actually lock the planks together this time.

  Stay in high school then once you get past learning basic economics, have another go at thinking.

  If you want to see a TV show, but pirate it instead, did the company lose any money? Yes.

  This thread is hilarious.

  I’m still salty about Firefly even though it’s been so long since it was cancelled that I’ve grown and raised a literal human being

  This interaction reminds me of an Always Sunny episode. The gang are mad because their favourite movie franchise sold out and got bad, so the whole episode is about them complaining with the movie execs about how the changes made to the movie (to attract different audiences in order to try to make the franchise profitable again) all suck, and what they should be doing differently. But the punchline of the episode is they have all along been streaming the movie series and not paying to watch it, so they are part of the problem.

  Never expected to see it played out IRL though, and the fact you’re being downvoted makes it all a bit less funny…

  your entire entry into the convo was pretty condescending for no apparent reason.

  Usually people educate themselves on a topic before trying to talk about it as if they have a clue.

  Someone talking nonsense, being called out for talking nonsense? Shocker!

  So where I am we don’t use blown insulation like this, so please take this with a pinch of salt, but…

  I redid 50m^2 of roof insulation in my house to exceed the insulation standards in my area and the cost of all the (very high spec) insulation sheets and materials was just over £3000. I don’t know about loose insulation that gets blown like in your picture, but I just wanted to contextualise why I thought the price seemed high.

  If it was me, I’d set up a couple of cameras and mouse traps to see if you get anything. If not, add that company to your big book of Bullshit and chalk this down to a good lesson learned. Owning a home can be stressful and expensive enough without scamming dingbats making things more difficult.

  If you do end up with mice in the traps, it would be worth getting a quote from another company, juuuust in case.

  Good luck OP!

  I don’t know about how prices are in your area but that seems incredibly expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Called Bugout for a bug inpection, and the guy said i have mice in my attic. Told me this is a mouse pee stain. Is that right?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If there is pee, there will also be poo. Have a gander and see if you see any droppings. They’re like little black pellets the shape of zeppelins (if you’ve ever had a hamster or gerbil, they’re similar), if you can’t find any I’d be very dubious about mice. In my experience from having them, you hear them scuttling at night. If you’re worried, you can get humane traps for pretty cheap - definitely cheaper than an exterminator.

  The same with, as we call them here, regular muffins.
