Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else!
Very, very carefully! I took the cat food out of the garage stored that in the shop, threw some moth ***** around and made sure the door was down tight. Now it is essentially a starvation and thirst thing. Between the moth ***** (which have about a 70% success rate) and no food - no water, I'm hoping they will exit fairly quickly when the garage door is opened. I set two buckets of water and a pie tin with cat food sitting just outside the garage door before I open it. Hit them in the right spot in the head and you have a few seconds to a few minutes to get them scooped into the tractor bucket, down the road, across the creek and to the burn pile. (Or if your upset with the neighbors - down the road and into their driveway).
It is a very old red brick garage that was actually built for horse drawn buggies with bricks from my GGG granddads brick plant. It was remodeled to handle Model A's and T's and the old carriage doors were replaced with a roll up door which has been replaced a few times. Long story short, if you aren't very careful and you don't get a good seal at the bottom of the door the critters can skinny under the door by the old carriage tracks that were built into the concrete.

Stuck at work today, and not a whole lot going on! I didn't have to work, but I'm saving up for a new snowblower, and a couple of things I need for the 67 rebuild. Going to be a loooong day.

Not recently and not close enough to get a dead skunk to!
Funny you should mention "fun". Dad called last night and I told him if he hurried home he could get in on some of the "fun" getting the skunks out of the garage. (I also may have mentioned it might take a couple days for the scoop on the front of the Kubota tractor to "air out" He then mentioned something about adding a week or two to their trip.

Evenin Charlie! Things are just fine out here. Spent the day spray painting eleven doors for the rental house, then helped Mikey finish stripping and washing down his 65 chassis. Tomorrow I have to reinstall the doors and finish kicking the new carpet. Sometime during the day tomorrow Mikey will be ready for me to spray the whole thing with undercoating. Today was a good day!
