Seems like binge culture backfires sometimes.

Dealt with a similar thing when a herd of goats wandered onto our build site in Arizona. We just paused the dig and let them mosey through (trying to shoo them would have taken ages). One of the locals knew the herder and gave him a quick call. He came by on his four-wheeler and rounded them up in no time. Basically, you learn to work around the local wildlife sometimes. A short wait beats a big hassle every time.

Oh man, tell me about it. We got it done last year after our new puppy had a couple accidents (you know how it goes). That was bad enough, but our old dog slops half his water bowl onto the floor every single day. Before the sealing, you could see a dark spot starting in the padding under the laminate. It totally saved us from having to replace a whole section.
