1. I had to look up "window well"

2. They prevent damage to basement windows.

Do they not build them where you live?

(The one you show is really fancy, most are much less expensive and simple construction.)

[Skittles]

3. there are no basements where I live

4. I figured that must be the case.

Interesting.

You must not need shelter during tornado season.

7. There was a toad that made his home in our

Window well.

Lived there for years.
Every year there were baby toads.

Our windowells werent that deep.

8. Awww. How neat. Perfect place for them.

Damp and sheltered.

Right, most window wells are more shallow, not so fancy.

9. There must have been a way in and out

To see baby toads every year. Yeah it was cool.

I brought a toad in the basement because mom left some compost too close to the house. It was full of earwigs.

They got into the basement.

Toads are natural predators to earwigs.

Caught a couple of toads.
Earwigs were gone in a week and a half.

I think thats where that toad in the window well came from.

I let out all the toads I caught to eat the earwings when they were all gone, except one toad I could not find.

10. Yes I figured they would have to have a way to get in and out.

For food, mating, etc.

Did your mom know about you bringing the toads into the basement?
I guess she was glad you got rid of the earwigs. No pesticides.

Maybe the one toad found a way out of the house on his own.

11. Yeah mom knew

She was blown away the earwigs were done for so fast. She was gonna have a bug guy over to spray I told her she was wasting her money. So she let me bring in the toads.

12. Good way to sell it.

Not sure what my mom would have done.

Great story.
