Then around spring as it gets warmer you may be under the false impression that some animal died under the house during the winter and is now thawing and starting to decompose. So when you go to investigate instead of a rotting raccoon you'll find 600 sg ft 3 inches deep in S**T. You'll actually scream "S**T!!!!!!!". Your wife will yell back, "What?". You'll say "S**T!!!!!" She'll say "What?" You'll clarify and scream "It's S**T!!!!!". You'll find that for $10k you can hire a former Marine Colonel who likes to spend his money in Tawain who will bring by a few illegals dressed in space suits to crawl around on their bellies for 3 days and scoop it all out by hand cause the access to the crawl-space is a 12x12 panel in a closet in your home office.

Ask me how I know.

I remember as a little kid, we had to have our septic tank pumped out. Of course I was there when they opened it up. I asked my mother what all of the white things were that were floating around on top of what was in the tank. She told me she didn't know. When I got old enough to know and remembered that day, I realized all of those white things were condoms.
