2/23/2023 0 Comments Chipmunk holeI did not want to kill a lesser intelligent specie doing what it takes to survive and after catching 8 of them in a cage and driving 10 km away to release them was too much as they kept coming into the cage with no stopping ( I live in the country ). 5-6 hours in my case for 1 of them), they will have a heart-attack and die in there. Be careful because if they are in the cage too long (i.e. However, the above was a big pain in the butt.so I bought a Havahart.caught 8 chipmunks in 2 weeks (no joke!), it REALLY works, I cover the havahart with some leaves to camouflage it, who knows if that works, but they go in. Then you have a safe chipmunk in the bucket to transport as you wish. Then I cover the bucket, spill out the water like a spaghetti strainer with the cover holding the chipmunk back. However, I only put about 2 inches of water in the bucket so they can't jump because they are busy sticking their head above the water. The chipmunks climb the ramp, see the seeds on the paper, step on the paper, and fall in. I placed sunflower seeds on the paper, taped the paper around the sides of the bucket so it wouldn't fall in. I put a white sheet of paper over the bucket, cut from the inside-out like you would a pizza, but not all the way to the edge.so that if a chipmunk stepped on the paper, it'd fall through the wedge-shaped cuts to the center of the bucket. I've done the chipper dipper, but with a modification because they seemed to sense the water and wouldn't go in (I watched from a window). Just bring the attorney to your house, I bet the response will be - WTF. I would NOT do any landscaping or changing of the issues until you do consult with a lawyer. Your best option, contact a real estate attorney. I think pretty much everyone associated with the piece of property from inception, is responsible for starting the coverup & continuing the coverup. You have many options on going back to the responsible party. (I would put a grate securely over that opening to make sure a curious kid doesn't get stuck/fall in.) And this will definitely affect your the resale of your home/loss of your investment. You could get sued if a neighbor/kid gets hurt. While I don't recommend people go crazy suing everyone - but in this case, it's going to affect your family safety. However, the first homeowner is still responsible for carrying on this omission. If their original docs don't show this, they were lied to at their purchase by the developer/builder. The first homeowner would have had it disclosed to them at their purchase. My guess, someone was paid off to make this disappear. Lastly, there is absolutely NO WAY the builder or subdivision developer didn't know about this. I would think it would be hard not to notice this after living in the house 20 yrs (my guess based on 1980's build mentioned). They do sign an agreement that they have disclosed all about the house. Another option - suing the previous owner for non-disclosure at sale. The title policy you took when you bought the house should cover the defect of this issue not being disclosed. You should talk with a real estate attorney. Having been a real estate agent, mortgage broker, underwriter etc -I agree with a couple of other statements made here. It's still a nice place to be, though my vegetable gardening consists only of tomatoes and herbs in moveable pots. For me, 30 years later, between my own trees and my neighbour's I receive only small patches of sunlight that move with the sun and I receive no direct sun in early morning and evening. Another thing to consider is what your neighbours have in their yards and how their trees and other structures affect your yard and might affect later on. Leave extra generous space between trees that will grow large and plan pathways and window-views accordingly, remembering too that many mature trees (spruce for example) will likely have big roots above or near the surface and in time will push up and may break nearby concrete paths as well as interfere with other plantings nearby. A few things I'd suggest: deciduous trees on the south will always give you direct light and appreciable solar gain in the winters while coniferous to the north will shelter your home. I found the size of my yard a little daunting at first but when I visualized it as distinct areas (like rooms) I soon began to see how I could design effectively and create functional walking and seating areas and nice views. The first thing I did though, was to replace the fence. I worked hard over many years to downsize the amount of grass drastically and I 'worked' with the spruce rather than fighting it in my design plans. Your yard looks quite a bit like mine did when I moved in - 30 years ago! Mine is south-facing, had (still has-only three times bigger now) a mature spruce in the centre of it.
