    My snot DOES get around... but unfortunately, it's also very runny... nor that solid.

    It looks like spray insulation to me. But how creative it that??

    I'm going with merangue from one of Raleighdon's pies (and yes, Mimi, I know I spelled that wrong I'm just too lazy to spell check!)

    Nice try, Dar, but he always browns his meringues in the broiler, so they are NEVER bright white.

    Given that it's pure white, that sounds like the most likely scenario - some sort of caulking or something. Is this an exterior or interior wall (i.e., what's on the other side of the wall - another room or the outdoors)? What's immediately above the "thing"? You might want to call the builder and have them investigate.

    It's on the ceiling of the guest bath upstairs (the one Jobob used over the weekend). No attic above. Obviously post construction and paint. I've had several people question whether it is a spider nest.

    Hmm, flickers eat ants. I wonder if I could just get them to move into the bathroom from the attic?

    Don't know who the builder is but sooner or later I could probably find out if I contacted the HOA which really only dealt with approving design plans. I doubt that the previous idjit owner would have even noticed there was a gap to caulk.

    Sheesh, SK -- isn't it obvious what it is?

    Cotton balls! Apparently jobob wasn't happy with the color she picked out from her last pedicure. I'm not sure why she stuck the used cotton balls on your ceiling rather than just throwing them away, but I do have a couple of theories....

    Seriously, though, I hope you & Bubba are settling in well and that you figure out what the Mystery Blob is.
