Why did it have to be squirrels?
So today I chased a squirrel out of the hobby room. Apparently I was being too quiet sitting there, and it came to look around the dishes. I yelled at it, it freaked out, ran into the bathroom, and by the time I got there it was gone.
So I've got Youngest contemplating how to make the hatch less open to invasion. I've heard that squirrels won't go through copper wool (like steel wool, only copper, and not flammable). My immediate thought is an open square of wood, inner dimensions the size of the hatch, to fit on the attic side, over the screens and under the hatch cover. With the copper stuff permanently attached to it. That would keep the squirrels from pulling it out, and leave room for air to come through.
Mind you, the roof fan isn't working right now. Won't turn on. Don't know why. Tho we have it installed for, at minimum, potential airflow. *sigh*
HOW HAS YOUR WEEK BEEN SQRRLLSSSSS
In other news, I got out this week to get my monthly anti-hive shot. I took pictures! Of flowers that I have no clue about, and Ingress glitch, and fields that I made. I've no clue how to upload them here. Oh well! This entry was originally posted at https://khatru.dreamwidth.org/19070.html. You can comment here, or there using OpenID. There are
