there's no point in leaving it half-finished, now the mice can come and push on the net and sneak in behind the panel where the wind barrier isn't properly against the panel, hehe
-maybe should have connected that electric fence thing to the net like someone suggested, haha

I understand your concern about mice, I don't like them either, but I've noticed that if you clear around the house properly and ensure old passages are blocked, the mice decrease significantly.
Mice like food and warmth, the most effective thing for me was to seal all possible entryways into the house from the inside. That is, find places where there were missing baseboards, gaps between the floor/wall, etc.
In principle, the mice have no interest in the house if they cannot get into the rooms in the house.
Mmm yeah there were openings like under and over all the walls here I've noticed, but everything will be sealed tightly..
anticimex advised me to seal around the water pipes in the kitchen with foam.... I questioned that and said that people usually avoid foam around pipes because of the pressure from the foam.. then he had no other tips...
-can I dare to use foam around water pipes?

I thought it looked pretty good in your pictures.
But now that I've tried to understand what you're writing and looked at your first pictures, I understand what the problem is.
Yes, once you've started, it's probably best to do it properly.
But do you(/the others) really think the mice are pushing away the metal mesh?

I have used foam sealant around my water pipes and drain pipes - it doesn't create that much pressure, and there's space for the foam to expand in directions other than against the pipeYrrol said:
Just don't use too much - it expands!
/K
I think the easiest would be to just staple up staples that bind the mesh and the paper together, but it's not easy to reach with any tool at all up there underneath... and then the staples will probably come loose...
I'm a little worried about how the aluminum will react to heat and cold. You can see on the animal fences how they change with the seasons... in that case, I imagine that the fiberglass mesh would have been better after all...

not if it's that special one that tastes bitter. anticimex uses it and there's someone on the internet selling them.. unfortunately, you need odd tools to use the tubes
