Look what Jobob did!

I say poke it with a really looooooooooooooooooong stick, then run like hell. Wait a bit, then go back in and look.

Oooooh! Or get a slingshot and shoot at it from the doorway, then run like hell...etc, etc.

Or maybe it's the ghost of empty wine bottles.......

Yeah, foam insulation sounds plausible. No attic above, but some air space at roof joists/trusses or wall cavity. If that's the case, though, it would have been there from the time the house was built and it's odd no one noticed it before now.

Okay, I give up, what's a flicker?

Sigh, there will be a test before any growlers are allowed . . .

We have the red-shafted version -- as does Northern California.

And here I thought you were going to post the photo of the wine bottles

Yeah, I just looked that up.

It's been a rough day. This morning I called over to the US Attorney's office in SF, asking for a specific US Atty, only to be told he was no longer working there. Fine. I get into the office and talk to my (ex) partner about this, and he informs me that this specific US Atty was recently fired by Bush as a result of the whole Alberto Gonzales mess, and that story was plastered all over the papers. Duh.

EDIT: Apparently more than just my hovercraft is full of eels.

Hmm, almost like you had participated in the Jobob Wine Trashing Project.

[SadieKate]

At least I know what the pink stuff is.

At least I know what the pink stuff is.

If there's Pink Batts poking out of the eves, I think the chances of the mystery substance being a blob of No More Gaps are high. But please ignore the errant beliefs of others that The Blob is too big to be a spider nest and poke it with a great big stick just for fun.

hmmm, sounds like the wrong guy got fired again.

Being that it's bright white, I'd think one of two things: 1. foam insulation that squeezed through that no one bothered to clean up b/c it was so high up
2. a very large spider nest. you need to poke it with a veeery long stick to see what the texture is. if it's hard, it's foam insulation. if it's soft and bug parts/baby spiders fall on you, it's a spider nest. If it's soft and one big spider falls out, it could be a tunnel weaver but I doubt it.

*shrug*

buuuuugs.

Well, running like hell has served me well for many years....

I googled "spider nest" --- oh, how facinating. If you're squeemish about our multi-legged friends don't do it though.

buuuuugs.

That would be boooooogs.
