You grab a line I'll get a pole...we'll go down to the crawfish hole...

I don't remember discussing a craw fish hole in the living room. Those of you who know me well will appreciate that this is probably something I would remember discussing. Living in a flood plain, below sea level is not helping my overall plan of keeping craw fish holes 'out the house'. After a rain of any kind this is the result and while for most this might seem like a boon...I don't even like craw fish. Not with butter. Not with potatoes and not in a boil. I'm just simply not a fan. However ,this made the dilemma of whether or not to cover such a lovely craw fish hole with a wooden floor , easier and definitely made putting in floor joists much more exciting. Things where getting a bit dull and moving along a bit to quickly on this re-model. So character and the floor were built sitting in the 'craw fish hole'. In the end I was a bit worried that once the craw fish got a good look at my beautiful new floor they would leave the sanctity of their miry home and squeeze through any crack they could find in order to join us upstairs, but after chicken wire , ten inches of insulation, a sub floor and hard woods I do believe I'm out of danger. To be on the safe side... I just won't leave any boiling pots or drawn butter lying about.
