House Rant #1

Sooo...as I have already mentioned, Brian and I have been in our new house for right at a month. We both love it! It's a cute, cozy house! So far, we've not had any real problems.


In the front room and kitchen, we noticed right away that insulation would blow up through the air duct and cover the floor.


Like so:



Our first thoughts:

1. The central AC system is new, so maybe it just has to flush out the insulation that was damaged during construction?
2. Perhaps a small animal damaged some of the duct work in the crawl space? (we looked and could not see anything, but no way am I crawling underneath there!)
3. Someone actually suggested that it was dust blowing up, because dust turns a yellowish color after time. But I am confidant that this is not dust in the photo.
   

Well, we were going to wait it out, see if it stopped and then THIS came out the air vent:

can you tell what it is?!?!?

SNAKE SKIN!!!!!!

Why in the hell is snake skin blowing up my vent?! You have know idea how paranoid and creeped out this makes me feel! Is there a snake crawling around my house? Sure, a snake is too large to fit through the slits in the vent, but what if it has babies and they get past the vent slits? What then?? I joked with Brian that someone has opened our Chamber of Secrets, which is a Harry Potter reference....but still, this is crazy. Yikes, snakes.
