Kept them out of our hair for a while, and we got help getting all those staples out.Rechellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00275733611928121275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120556725321553762.post-22160502772754825692007-06-09T07:47:00.000-04:002007-06-09T07:47:00.000-04:00Oh yeah, don't you love it when old houses throw c...Oh yeah, don't you love it when old houses throw curveballs at you?
