water has to come from somewhere, unlike rodents. if you can't figure out where it is coming from pay any knowledgeable contractor or handyman to figure it out for you. rodents, I don't know. they might have mastered teleportation. I never can see where they are coming from.

the reality show that is federal policy , and really world political policy, will not affect anything in the short term. the housing market is its own thing. it's just supply and demand. politics is just soap opera.
