She threw wet TP on my ceiling! Just kidding!
Actually, any exterminators/builders/entomologists/pestologists/critterologists on the forum? Dr Fish/Bee?
I just found this thing adorning the bathroom ceiling in the house we just moved into (house is less than 4 years old). I can't get someone here with a tall enough ladder until Sunday so in the meantime I'm fretting about all the things it could be. The picture isn't good but the "The Thing" is bright white against an off-white painted wall. It's about 3-4 inches wide. There was some discussion whether the previous owner's grandkids threw wet TP up there but it doesn't look right. A nest of some kind?
Feel free to make up stories to entertain me while I imagine the worst. Also, just discovered that a pair of flickers is enjoying my attic but I'm less worried about them than The Thing.

It's 3-4 inches wide. Have no idea how long it has been there. We (actually only me right now) have only been living in the house since Nov 3rd. I saw it a week ago but really nothing to do over Thanksgiving. 4 other people looked at it yesterday with no guesses other than TP or a nest of some kind. One of the guys is coming back on Sunday with an extension ladder.

No attic there and nothing long enough to reach it unless I haul a ladder up the stairs. I'm saving my strength for hauling boxes up the stairs.
I had the garage looking so good and now it's exploded again. The remaining contents of our California house arrived last night. What a mess.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

That's the strangest thing I've seen in a long time. Have you consulted an exterminator?
Bright white? Where does that occur in nature except spider egg nests? But it seems way too big.Sarah

In all seriousness....
I'm betting someone put some sealant somewhere and it came out through a hole. It really looks like some sort of man made extrusion to me...
Of course, it could be extra-terrestrial

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

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!)
