Hickory Dickory Dock

The mouse ran up the clock, the clock struck one, the mouse ran down. I don't want any mice running down anything in this house. We live in the country and don't have a cat at the moment. That means we will have mice, there is no way to avoid them. Putting sheetrock up against the metal skin of the building leaves gaps. I can just see a mouse running along the joists, falling into one of these gaps and dying in the walls.

Oh that is a horrible thought. Not only for the poor mouse but the smell will be atrocious.!!!!

Expando Foam to the rescue again. I love this stuff as much as I love duct tape. It can fix all kinds of stuff.

I squirted it between the ceiling board of the pantry and the sheet metal to block any possible way for a mouse to commit suicide by jumping into what will be a sheetrock abyss.

Not a fan of heights and this is what I had to crawl across to get the foam all the way across the wall. I would have preferred a 5 foot wide walkway instead of a ten inch one, but at least this one was wider than my knees as I crept along it.
