gfretwell, Years ago I had a guy under a floor - I would tap on the fllor at the location, then he'd call on the readio to tell me where to drill, then he would push the wire up. Then he tells me that near where the last outlet we were installing was a 4-5' rattlesnake. Long story short it was hibernating, and while we were drilling it woke up, he got out of hole real quick and we called Animal Control - who told us to wait for Spring 'cause they definately weren't going down there to get it. The customer waited ~5 months to get those outlets on, because the last one, was the first one in the run. The customer had to set traps where it might come out, and we wouldn't go back until she had the snake in a cage.
