OOOOOOoohhhhhhhhh...!!! I didn't relieze it was your storm cellar! I
figured, if not a true basement it was like a springhouse cellar..... Sure gonna be CROWDED when you are forced to run for cover when a tornado is reported.....yep,....Mz. Jake and her Baby Jakes.....I'd have a talk with Mr. Broom and remove it! Pronto!!! :-).....Then if DH didn't have time to redue the vents,ect....I do so myself....JMTCW ((Uggghhh snakes!)).... :-) Liz waves Hiiiii to Jake/Jakette :-) Liz "Sherry " wrote in message ... Well, Sherry, did you ever get Mr. Slither out from your basement? Or are you still guarding the top of the staircase from snake entry?:-) Liz Ugh. No. It's still in there. Except it's not a basement, it's just a cellar (or a scare-hole, like they're called sometimes). It's not connected to the house at all. The temporaray solution is, we named it Jake. It seems just giving it a name (plus finding out for sure it was just a bull snake)....sort of gave it a personality and took some of the evil-ness away. He / she comes out on the concrete top of the cellar about every morning, basks in the sun, then disappears when it gets hot. I"m still not going in that cellar. I don't care how bad the weather gets. Sherry |

We used to call them Storm Shelters - had one on every other block in the
town I lived in, late 60's in OK. Probably was built as a BOMB shelter during the height of cold war in the 50's. -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

town I lived in, late 60's in OK. Probably was built as a BOMB shelter during the height of cold war in the 50's. -- It's funny, I didn't realize till I was a grownup that everybody in the world doesn't need a storm cellar. When we were kids, there were lots of dirt cellars. Basically a hole in the ground reinforced and the top with a door. But when you were inside, the walls were just dirt. Very few people had a concrete cellar back then. When we first got married, 31 years ago, we had a mobile home where we built this house years later. That's when we had the cellar built. I was almost phobic about storms back then. There are still a few fallout shelters here, too, at the houses built in the early 60's. I remember in elementary school the Civil Defense distributed literature for us to take home to our parents, one of them was plans on how to convert your storm cellar into a fallout shelter.

I don't know if it's snake-wide.. But the snakes I know about, the females
are larger than the males. So chances are, if it's huge, it's mama Grace "Sherry " wrote in message ... ROFL! Okay, can't you try to shoo Jake away while he/she is basking outside? 'cause if it IS a "she" you could find a nest of babies in there before too long. Maybe use a broom or long-handled garden rake. Jill Ugh. Gross. I never thought about the possibility of a Jake-ette. The plan is for DH to re-do the vents & re-seal the door so he/she can't get back in once we catch him outside. . He's just been working so much the past week he hasn't had time to fool with it.
