Weekend Projects

I must be honest, I kept snakes for over 25 years and have yet to see a dripping like that. My biggest was a Taiwanese rat snake, over 2m long and about as thick as my wrist. I also had a Black rat snake who was not far short of that. They had an exclusive rat diet and the poops were rarely solid.

Can honestly say in all my years of handling and catching/relocating snakes, I've yet to come across a pile of scat that big all in one place.

To me that looks like Owl, the fact that it is in the roof strengthens my debate. Also on the list is African wild cat or Civet.

The flat roof section which is 120 mm from ceiling to roof was also filled with the same droppings. There was evidence of a lot of rat activity at one time but only 2 carcasses up to now. And the carcass of what looked to be a young mongoose. Also bear in mind this place has been used only once or twice a year for around 40 years

 

[Stranger]

Well, there is a lot of poop and there is never just one mongoose

Last bit of the front roof finished just in time for the rain. Just for fun who can identify the items in the second picture. View attachment 203252 View attachment 203253 View attachment 203254

Hi. I was given some atty connectors from broken mods by @Christos after I asked about 510 inserts. I had already bought two curtain rail whatever's. The following pictures are of the progress. I don't have a lathe so from the initial curtain goodies it was turned on my drilling machine in a cheap drill press.

Maintenance around the home is very rewarding afterwards.
My wife comes from a none DIY / technical family.
When I first met her I would say I will fix this or that etc. She would say, you can't do that. Then later something would break at her folks home, "Don't worry, Stew will fix it."
Then one day my vacume cleaner broke and I said we have to buy a new one. Jeepers, I was in trouble, "But you fix everything."

I had a few situations like that, but it adds to the experience of DIY and the laugh afterwords.
