parachuting rodentia

everyone left at 4 a.m. i finally dragged my ass out of bed at almost 11 this morning.

the sprinkler guys (the first one) came by at about noon today. unannounced. they came in and assessed the situation. it looks like some sort of small animal chewed through the sprinkler pipe. i told them i heard scurrying in the ceiling about a week ago and i guess this is the product.

at this point, they need to let the glue dry for a full 24 hours so one sprinkler guy is coming back tomorrow at lunch time to test the sprinkler again. but that doesn't change the fact that there is a hole in my bathroom ceiling and a potential rodent running around that could fall through it!

i will hope that nothing happens and that whatever critter that chewed through the pipe has now moved on.

what bothers me most is that, while i have experience with squirrels in the attic, the sprinkler guy said that the teethmarks were too small and it was probably a mouse.

EEEEEEEEK!
