Exploration is ill-advised.

I would actually watch a movie with that premise. Impressionable young new homeowner moves into spooky house, discovers each new haunting has a completely mundane, yet still hazardous, explanation, fixes them with the help of a friendly neighbor who works as a contractor. Stinger is talking with some of his local coworkers about all this, and someone goes "Uh... we haven't had a local contractor in this town for years, the last guy died in an electrical accident in the house next to yours."

A terrified man, curled up in the corner in the fetal position, after realizing his house isn't haunted. That spooky creaking - a floor joist settling onto a subsiding pile. The arrhythmic hissing - a water supply tee slowly disintegrating. Hideous moaning - windwhistle in termite holes. Ghoul rattling it's chains? - A Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panel lid, clanking in the wind.

There was a canadian show with that premise. Paranormal Home inspectors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbd_8jV-Ujs

There's probably a haunted house story where it tries to drive its inhabitants insane but they're already burnt out millennials who welcome death so it gives up, and/or teams up with them against the landlord

Tests show that .22lr will penetrate 4 or 5 interior walls or 3/4" of plywood, so it's not exactly safe to be shooting indoors or anywhere without a solid backstop.

I used to rent a 3rd-floor condominium. Top floor of the building, and the place was in a wooded area and the roof needed major repairs. I had occasional leaks making colored patterns on the ceiling, but the really major problem was the squirrels that would infiltrate the attic. The condo association kept not spending money on what was needed, which was a complete roof repair, because the only people bothered by the holes in the roof were the people who owned units on the top floor, the rest were too dumb to understand that the damage would eventually effect their units as well. So all they'd do when the top floors complained enough was to hire a guy who'd set live traps in the attic space.

One time I bumped into the guy as he was hauling out squirrels. He'd trapped *twenty-two loving squirrels*. Things were quiet for about a couple of weeks.

I'd have sat up there with a belt-fed weapon if I thought it'd do any good.

I had forgotten it was trash day. That opossum was double-bagged inside a black plastic trash can in the summer sun for a week. After about 5 days, I took the can down to the curb because the smell was already getting pretty serious.

Reminds me of this cheese my sister brought me back from France that was completely delicious, best cheese I've ever had, but managed to stink up the entire fridge and to a lesser extent the kitchen despite being contained in three nested ziploc bags.

my workshop sump went out during yesterday's insane rainstorm. I found to my chagrin that I'd left the post hole digger out in the weather for a very long time after I dug said sump.

now, here's the thing about the post hole digger: I inherited it from some acquaintances who live a sort of country hoarder life. it looks like any other post hole digger, but the way I can tell it's mine is that there's a set of .22 bullet holes going through the handles.

one day, the dude and his brother and nephew decided they'd spend an afternoon plugging one of his outbuildings. they fired some bothersome number of rounds into an almost literal broad side of a barn. they didn't bother to check what was inside.

the building stood at the bottom of a small valley, so there was nowhere for the bullets to go when they went through Hardi-Panel and then the handle of a garden tool and then another set of Hardi-Panel.

I'm not really some sort of like gunologist or gunonomist but I'd really recommend not firing anything larger than a Daisy Red Ryder in any residential sort of area.

Residential area or not I wouldn't recommend firing any sort of firearm without a good reliable backstop. Something more bullet-resistant than a post-hole digger, for example.

Nah, you just need the right stuff. This will get it white again in literal seconds: https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/whink/rust-stain-and-removers/rust-stain-remover

If whatever you’re dealing with is too fragile for acids, you can use an chelating agent like Evapo-Rust. It’s more expensive and you’re not supposed to dilute it, but it works great.
