It's a single level ranch on a crawl space. He saw big holes behind the hot water tank. He sent me two photos of these huge rat glue traps with 2 different rats he caught. He is so freaked out and has not slept in two days. So I went to help him out. We removed his water tank and I took sheetmetal and made up a nice patch and sealed the heck out of it and put the water tank back in place. He had a ziplock bag with about a dozen books that he got from his uncle. He gave me the books as he was very happy to get that hole sealed up. He has an exterminator coming over next to evaluate the situation. Unfortunately his neighborhood
has been infested with rats. He is close to Detroit. My clothes went right into the washing machine when I got home.

I wish I was kidding, but I work in NYC and during Covid as an essential worker I would walk to the construction site kicking rats the size of cats out of the way at 530am. NYC rats have a certain type of entitlement that is crazy to understand unless you’ve experienced it.

Apparently, I am easily annoyed. 8.6K	8.6K Rbolton private msg quote post Address this user	plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 3

	Oh, and a note to anyone shipping to Canada. Use USPS. UPS will bend your customer over and ream them real good.

	I won a comic clean and grade charity auction a few months back. These 7 books just came back. I’ll post the other 3 someday when I get them. I am leaning towards keeping the Bane & GI Joe. Then hoping to sell or trade the rest towards some early ASM

Canadian post at least has a min value before they start charging I hardly agree with both of these fine gentlemen's assessments. I have experienced both venues and USPS comes out on top for any transaction.
