My Veronica Crater Lake Blue is not that blue. I bet I have been the victim of a miss-named plant. I love blue in the garden. I have the name of this MG, just did not feel like crawling around to find it early this morning. Maracas

Hmmm, I would put them in a sealed container AS IS. I'd put EVERYTHING in there with them. If you are going to court with this guy, to sue him, or to defend yourself against a lien he might place, then this would be better than a mere photo of the evidence. And, also get the exterminator to show you any HOLES they have to fill and put where they were on your blueprints or drawings to indicate they were in the areas this big rat worked over. And I'd make sure it was a jury trial too. Homeowners who've been suckered by jacklegs such as this would be very sympathetic. Have you reported him to the Better Business Bureau? And to the Chamber of Commerce, or any place in the state which maintains lists of local contractors? Be sure they add YOU to the list of references to call about quality of workmanship. Or lack there-of. Also, I'd get some of the real curly steel wool balls and keep them in the house. I found a great use for that kind around some pipes. They might still make the same thing in copper at a higher price, but these would work nicely if not out in the weather. Rats cannot chew through the stainless either. One place the exterminator might have to look is beneath the house. I discovered that squirrels and rats were entering the house where the drain went down and joined the sewer line. There was a HOLE--NO FLOORING AT ALL--beneath my bathtub. And they had an interstate access to my attic all the way up inside the plumbing wall. Well, I put a stop to it alright. Tore out the danged bathtub, put in a new tiny bathroom, and of course that means a new floor and VERY well sealed WALLS, and maybe one day I will trust a contractor to install a new bathtub in a new location. I still have nightmares about THAT shocking revelation.

Thanks everyone for you kind comments.My son loves it he also asked me LOL will it be as warm as his halloween quilt which he loves............He is also asking me about the backing because he said he loves the backing on the halloween quilt it is sooooooooo soft LOL!
