Building, Fixing and Cleaning Mood.

The last few days I have been in a frenzy to fix things around the house. I have purchased a deep freeze and that seems to be the root of the issue. I then bought racks to install in my utility room and pantry. I also installed a rack in our bedroom closet. Yesterday I purchased some things to organize my computer and desk which lead to installing another USB unit into my PC.

Finally I constructed a device to keep raccoons out of my trash cans. I previously talked briefly about this animal last year (Raccoon) . Let me list a few things I have done to try to eradicate this menace:

  1. Shot him with BB Gun.
  2. Throw objects at him.
  3. Laid weighted stuff over can lids.
  4. Created a semi successful device with a hinge which cut his hand up pretty good because he bled all over my porch. It eventually was broke and he figured out the device.
  5. I also bent my Dad's pitching wedge on him in a duel where I seemed to have won.
But all of these things were only temporary. With this newly constructed system I am pretty sure he is out of luck now. Lets just say it involves trash cans, bar lock ties and bungee cords. Oh and no it is not a catapult (which would be awesome). Pictures soon!
