Man vs. Squirrel..... he's back!



About 2 months ago a fight between Man and rodent began.  It's like they've formed a hockey team right over our head.

The drama then was long and irritating.  A fond memory of this battle was one where we watched Michael run down the hall ripping down the attic stairs...cursing all the way and yelling....  Up he goes..cursing and screaming...across the ceiling we hear him, loud thuds and what appears to be throwing of things.  Within mintues...he's racing back down the stairs and running out the front door.  He later comes back in proclaiming.."I saw that * of a *...in the driveway...taunting me as he jumped off the roof".

A short time later, $20 of chicken wire, late night sawing and a 6 inch crack in my ceiling...Michael
claimed victory. 

Until now.......the creepy ass rodent is back having eaten through wire and Lord
knows what else Michael had thrown together.  Michael began round 2 of the fight against this
furry rodent tonight.  He was in the attic for over an hour with a saw, electric drill and duck tape.

Stay tuned.  . .

That made me *snort*. I hope he wins his battle, but I also look forward to the blog fodder from the fight.
