We have turned it into the children's rooms. But my office/store room has a wall that is one big stone and it has a hole for the air vent to get out. Since I have worked there, we have had problems with mice. They seem to like to poop a lot on everything. They are the cutest things though, and I do not mind them. A few years ago, I had to get rid of some of our food items like sugar and coffee pods cause they chewed right through them. But this year I have actually discovered that they like to eat paper. More importantly my paper. They eat it and apparently use it to make nests. I only have this problem when the weather changes, usually Fall and Spring. I have also discovered they pee. Mice. Just never thought about that. Now the new director is up in arms because people freak when they see or hear about mice. I think of all the mice in children's books. Usually reading after hours with the library cat. Yes, we have a cat who is supposed to be keeping tabs on the mice. I think maybe they have become friends. Anywho, I feel your pain with regards to the food supply because I bet mice like potatoes and leeks better than paper. I think we will never get rid of them and maybe need to reach some kind of peaceful coexistence....since according to Douglas Adams they have the answer to the ultimate question to Life, the Universe and Everything...even if they do not know the question.
