Do it yourself

Ok if you insist..... We've been in this house almost 8 years, 2 years ago we finally could afford to put a new roof, soffit and facia on it. Before then there were no soffit and facia, it was basically open under the edges of the roof. Therefore it was a pretty common occurence to wake up to the swooosh swooosh sound of a bat. Mike started out trying to whack them with his pillow since that was handy but because of the sonar the bats use to get around, it was hard to do, they would "see" the pillow and dodge around it. So, he being a smart man (even though he screams like a little girl at wasps) asked me to get him a tennis racket, figuring that because its "open" perhaps the bat wouldnt see the racket as easy, plus theres no wind resistance. Soooo I bought him a Bat Whacker at a yardsale. One night we had one come in, he was way too excited about it for me but thats ok, he got to test his theory. Our windowsills are 16 inches wide and almost 6 feet high. He ended up in the one at the front of our house, standing there in his gauchies, swinging at this bat which is swooping back and forth down our long hallway upstairs. Its 3 am.....all of a sudden there are headlights coming down the highway.....they go by, slow down and BACK UP! By this time I am almost crying cause I am laughing so hard.....My husband, who has no shame turns around in the window and WAVES!!!!!! ROTFLOL..... Brenda BTW, the tennis racket works great....and its known as the Bat Whacker in our house. We were at a sporting goods store once with my daughter when she was little and she asked why they had so many Bat Whackers there! LOL
