Previous Message For a couple days I'd been hearing a scratching noise in the downspout joint. I figured it to be a rat or mouse trying to build a nest. It had to go! I disassembled my drainage system and ran a drain snake down from the top and hit a snag. I ran the snake up from the bottom only to hit a snag again, then I heard something slide down the spout to the bottom elbow. I was surprised to see that shell edge. I pulled the critter out.

Wow! Who'd have thought? Glad you rescued him.
