Craigslist is still pretty cool but your right there does seem to be an extraordinary amount of dopey people posting stuff for sale lately. They even worse with vintage stuff and antiques. People think just because it’s old it’s rare and valuable and that it doesn’t matter how poor the condition is. I see people post vintage sewing machines for 200 to 400 dollars and some of those would blue book for only 25. Most of those machines aren’t rare either. Unless you have a featherweight that old singer isn’t likely to be rare. Everyone used to have a sewing machine in their home. Singer sold MILLIONS of them. I read that back in the day Singer sold in one year as many machines as all the sewing machine manufacturers put together do in a year now.

I understand how a person might not know exactly how much an item is worth. We posted a 1957 Chevy Bel Air last year. We weren’t totally clueless but we were overpriced. People will let you know pretty quick what your item is worth. I see people posting the same garbage over and over, some of them for years.

My neighbor installed them years ago when she put a patio addition on her house. They are really nice because otherwise her living room would be a dark hole. I like them. There at least 6 solatubes in her house and I don’t think they have ever leaked. Like UcGal said they are bright, very bright. A dimmer sounds like a good idea to me, especially in a bedroom.

[quote=Hewick]I have lost two tenants due to the rat problem, and the house next door to mine also lost their tenant due to the rat problem, and he had two pit bulls… Something needs to be done ASAP! My daughters hear the scurrying around of little feet in the ceiling and walls, and a recent tenant found a dead rat under the refrigerator, it is gross! Vector control only comes out and suggests ways to close up holes and leave a rat trap box, but that does not solve the problems…[/quote]

And have you closed all the holes? I recommend the old fashioned snap traps (lots of them) and peanut butter. They dig bacon too but it’s too easy to get off the traps without setting them off.

Whatever you do don’t poison them. Dead stinking rats in your wall are the grossest thing ever. Trust me on this. You just need to be persistent to get rid of them. I’ve never had more than one (and not for long) but my Mom has had several invasions because she didn’t close off the holes. She is also hates to kill them. I don’t like killing them either but they are GROSS. I had to throw a hissy fit at my Mom over her “pets” They will chew your wiring, your house will smell nasty and they are a health hazard. Did you know they pee a little every time they take a step?
