    [QUOTE=Drew Wiley;1588154]I have R23 insulation in the sink and film rooms, which makes my darkroom itself the quietest place to be on weekends. I have neighbors over the back fence whose whole point for existence seems to be to get roaring drunk on cheap beer on game days, shout as loud as they can, mostly obscenities, and play loud "music" (also mostly obscenities). Even their cats left and adopted us instead. But now they've got a pet raccoon with a conspicuous beer belly of its own - friendly tubby feller, but probably due for coronary bypass surgery to clear all the french fry grease clogging things up. He's the only member of that group covered with fur instead of tattoos.[/QUOTE

    The raccoon is most likely the smartest one over there...

    I was wondering when we were going to get to actual venting!!

    I have not blocked under my house yet -- too much work under there still to do. Raccoons and skunks move in -- then quickly move out. Seems like they do not appreciate the speakers turned downwards on the floor with the "Latest Hits of the 80s, 90s and More!" played at full bass (w/boost) and volume about 8" directly above their heads randomly through the day/evening. pillows and blankets over the speakers so I don't have to listen to it much.

    Edit -- tried it with rats -- they just raided the fridge for beer and had a dance party....

    Well, raccoons do have sensitive hands and fingers, as well as superb night vision. Maybe I should train one to develop sheet film. But I'm afraid they'd try washing snails in the pyro. Sure made a muddy mess in the cat's water bowl last night; but at least they were on the right track to a staining developer.
