Well, as many of you may or may not know, the Macha Bed and Breakfast (otherwise known as our home) had to close one of its bedrooms due to a problem caused by pesky bats in the attic. The picture below shows the big gap between the walls and the roof, where they were flying in. Can you believe it...Ronda lived in a home with bats???? This problem was getting progressively worse and worse as time went on.
With the help of Lee and a couple of our brave Macha friends, they went up into the attic and cleared the bats out (believe it or not...there were hundreds of them!). We then sealed up the gaps as much as possible to prevent them from retuning. The bats had caused quite a bit of damage to the ceiling in the bedroom, so we needed to come up with a clever way to fix the problem.
Ruth, Lee's wife, helped us hang some Zambian chetengies (sheets of printed traditional fabric) to help redecorate the room.
You can see that the guys (Gil and Lee) even got involved. All those hours of watching TLC and HGTV decorating shows while in Wisconsin sure helped out! We are happy and thankful to say that the bedroom is in great shape and open for guests!
