... an old house.

The wife heard "squeaking" while at the farm one night.
No problem. I had thought I knew what it was.

Silly me.

Here is one of the boys getting some gatorade.

Three boys and one girl.

And I thought this was going to be a story on dry rot. Remodeling, I know why it costs so much! It's a pain in the BUM! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I have torn down and remodeled several old buildings. Never found anything to amount to anything. The ones I remodeled I always left empty a beer can or two in the cavities just so the guy who does tear it down has something to find...weelll, also to get rid of the empty.

I raised 2 squirrels that had gotten blown out of a tree from a tornado that ripped by/over my parents house. It was a lot of fun.. def. amazing the speed they can change directions when being chased by your dog in the house. We named them "Bruiser" & "Poo".. lot's of good memories.

We found them outside by following the squeaking noise.. only took a leaf to make them invisible.

I had a passing thought about trying to raise them. I think it would have been a great educational thing for my girls. Unfortunately we are in the process of moving/rebuilding (yes, in that order /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif) to the farm, and I don't think they would have gotten the needed attention.

We do have plans to reintroduce them to the property in a few months. I don't have a shotgun or .22, so they should be safe from the stew pot.

Are you feeding them orphan milk? If you could build a temp nest where the mother could find them.. they'd be okay.

I even made channel 4 news.. so much for the 75 trees down in the yard. One man said.. if you didn't have all those trees.. you wouldn't have a house. It was just my Dad & I at home.. I was smoking a cig. on the front porch.. my Dad said.. better come in before you get wet.. as soon as I stepped in the house.. it went from rain to total white-out visibility.. then we heard a big bang.. which ended up being a tree slammed against the house & chimney. Took us months to cut up all those trees.
