Willy's Whimsical Wednesday Words of Wisdom
A few years back I had a client looking at purchasing a nice condo
that backed up to a beautiful greenbelt. Several squirrel feeders were
hanging in many of the yards along the greenbelt.. And those little gray
squirrels were
running all over the place. Cute as a bug, bouncing around, arguing with
each other and running back and forth from the feeders. It was quite
entertaining! Actually becoming a bit of a selling point for my buyer.
However upon crawling under the home it was discovered what my Dad had meant
when he said " You better Squirrel something away for a later
date". Cus we found it!! Right under those buildings. In piles of
seeds, mouse and rat nests, insulation that looked like swiss cheese and
a lovely odoriferous bouquet. Ahh my natural habitat. I know,
my buyer didn't think I was funny either. I could have bagged the seeds
and
put it back in the feeders for weeks. Solvable problem with proper
screening but I strongly suggest you don't buy a house unless somebody
has squirreled under it first to check.
Have a Willy Great Day!
