We sealed that up and I was afraid to get out of bed in the mornings for a month! I still get the heebie jeebies when I think about it.

If that happened to us, we'd have had to move. No way my wife is going back in the house.

Years ago my dad and I were getting the back of the boat latched down and a snake fell off the motor on my feet. Must of hitched a ride from the lake. I take a little look now! I ain't really scared of snakes as long as I see them first. Moment like that, you just react!
