FOR SALE........AGAIN!

Well, "The best laid plans of mice and men go oft astray." - Robert Burns. This somewhat fits us! Although there are no mice, there are shrews. Shrews are the smallest of mammals, they are not rodents they are insectivores. They live in mulch, eat insects, and are ugly little suckers! They found a way into our basement and built a nest behind our insulation in the rafters, not somewhere I look or clean!! They DO NOT live in homes, they cannot survive. They come in during the winter to keep warm. They can be mistaken for voles, or moles, same type of creature. Because the buyers wife has a phobia about rodents, she freaked out when they found the nest during our pest inspection. The problem is easily remedied with traps. We offered to take care of the problem, give them a year of free monthly pest inspections, but their answer was to terminate the contract. Since we are all packed and were ready for movers to come Monday, July 16, we are proceeding with our plans to go to VIRGINIA. We just pray, again, that it won't take long to sell and we can move on permanently.
