Yep first step is always remove the attractors. Food of any kind they will search and get....it's not shelter they are after most times.

Virtually impossible to keep rodents out of a shed unless it is built very well.
This woman has been looking for a sucker on Front Porch Forum for this job for a while, good luck.

I've seen mice go right through my stone fireplace surround, although that says more about the idiot who built it (probably previous owner himself) than about mice.

“Great stuff” foam is sold in a pest blocking variety. No idea what’s in it, but it’s worth a shot. For bigger critters use hardware cloth to cover any gaps. And kill the fuckers with poison or an electronic trap. The zap trap I got last year has nuked about two dozen mice.

What is the collective opinion of using a product like SimpleMat for tiling jobs? Is it worth heading in that direction or will that be too much work? Are there other tiling shortcuts I should know about?

I was part of a project where the tin roof had to be pulled off a BC lodge completly, all the insulation fixed all the holes sealed off with the armoured mesh cuz of rodents
the mice went thru the roof making tunnels and nests, so the martens seeing a good meal followed them in, ate all the mice but left a mess, right next to the stove pipe they had knocked a piece of wood which was slightly charred but didnt catch
I was on the water project which was also a huge job but pulling a roof off and putting it all back looked like a huge jobLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

I think you are the most “Canadian” of any Canadians posting here. Kudos.
And I don’t mean that as a bad thing by the way.

That simplemat shit looks like something a housewife would use to surprise her husband after watching an HG network show.
For a quality tile job there are no shortcuts. Trust me, I have seen a shitton of fucked up tile.

I'd like to get fastfred's opinion.
But until then I agree with VT-Free. IMO other than trowels and plastic buckets, pretty much anything you buy at HD in the tile aisle will guarantee a fucked up tile job. That shit is taking it to a new level of fuckupedness."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang

could be a canadian bot eh
I always laugh at the steel wool mitigation for rodent issues and now I see we got rodent proof foam,
so what do you do when it doesnt work, well you do it again or maybe the structure fire takes care of it
I think yer takeaway should be don't do a chicken-shit-job
or in this case a marten-shit-jobLast edited by XXX-er; 07-23-2021 at 10:06 PM.

Sorry not a remodel question but I’m not really familiar with well pump/pressure tank set ups. Should the well pump run constantly when running a garden hose? I don’t seem to remember it running constantly before. For other use, it seems like the pump will run for 15-20 seconds after a toilet flush and sink run. Google seems to think that is running too often and for too short of a cycle?

Pressure tank should fill from well pump and the water comes from there. When my pump died we had water, from tank, until it ran dry. Sounds like the pump is working too much to me.

If the bladder fails in the tank it will short cycle and run after each flush ect. or constantly using a hose.

So a pressure tank replacement is needed? Is there any other way to diagnose or are those symptoms enough?

But I never noticed it running this much when I moved in. If it were variable speed could you hear the different speeds? What would I look for.
Took a look at the tank. It has a schrader valve up top but no gauge. I’ll throw a gauge on there and take a look.

The controller is going to be an electrical box pretty close to the pressure tank. It will have a wire going to a pressure switch down at the bottom of the pressure tank. Get a model number of the controller and put it in Google.
