Abstract: A rodent protection insert for a structure opening including a flexible polymer foam sheet having a protective mesh sheet carried on a front side which moves independently of the foam sheet. A securing member maintains a mechanical connection between the flexible polymer foam sheet and the mesh sheet. An airflow port is disposed in the flexible polymer foam sheet that includes a removable plug for controlling airflow through the airflow port. A perimeter edge of the flexible polymer foam sheet compresses against and conforms to interior wall surfaces within a structure opening when mounted to form an airtight seal against the interior wall surfaces and hold the foam sheet in place. The protective mesh sheet engages the interior wall surfaces when the flexible polymer foam sheet is compressed in the structure opening so that the protective mesh sheet stabilizes and supports the flexible polymer foam sheet within the structure opening.

Abstract: A crawl space winch system including a base plate; a winch box carried by said base plate; a winch mechanism disposed in said winch box and having a cable extending out of an opening in a front side of said winch box for attaching to an item; a winch drive shaft extending through a sidewall of said winch box and being operatively associated with said winch mechanism for retracting said cable; and, a primary anchor opening disposed in a generally central portion of said base plate for receiving a portion of a primary anchor to secure said base plate to the ground, and wherein said primary anchor provides a pivot point around which said base plate rotates.

Abstract: A flexible cover plate with an airflow opening. A fan carried on a rear side of the cover plate over the airflow opening. A protective screen carried on a front side of the cover plate over the airflow opening. An angle bracket carried in an elongated slot disposed in said cover plate having a first portion extending parallel along the rear side of the cover plate, and a second portion extending transverse to the front side of the cover plate above the airflow opening. A flexible polymer foam sheet carried on the rear side of the cover plate for conforming to a vent opening in a building foundation wall so that an airtight seal is formed against the vent opening. A fan speed controller adjusting a desired speed of the fan and airflow through the airflow opening.
