Baseball Bats

These aren't the bats you're looking for...

I've been hearing some faint scratching noises coming from the attic for the past few weeks.  Back when we bought the house, the home inspector found evidence of bats in the attic. We asked the sellers to have them removed before we'd buy, and they did. Now five years later I think they might be back.

On a related note, here's a picture of the closet where I keep my cards. I always find it interesting when other bloggers show pictures of their collections, so here's mine. This bedroom is technically the guest bedroom, but we've always called it "the card room". Those rows of binders on the floor are Topps baseball, football, and basketball sets. The boxes on the shelf are mostly empty, their contents now in the binders. But some are full with duplicate sets. (See my trade bait page for sets I have available.) There's also some random boxes and envelopes stacked on the binders containing recent purchases or trades that need to be organized yet. You can also see some loose filled pages for which I don't have binders yet.

And here's a picture of the ceiling in that closet where the access to the attic is. See a problem here? I called a local bat remover yesterday and he's coming out to inspect the attic on Monday. For a man and his ladder to fit through that hole into the attic, I have to empty out that closet. I guess I know what I'll be doing this weekend.
