Squirrels, again.

I have a coworker who is very fond of squirrels, so it makes me feel a little guilty to go on about how I hate the little buggers. Indeed, I wish squirrels no ill, as long as they refrain from living in my house (and eating my tomatoes, which they are not doing this year. Yet.)

Yes, we have ceiling squirrels again, this time in the front dormer, and next to the chimney. Last night one woke me up at about 10pm, and they often wake me from my light sleep between 5 and 6:30am. I don't know what they're doing, but sometimes it sounds as if they are trying to break or gnaw through a 2x4.

Here's their doorway:

right under the eave of the dormer. One day recently as we loaded up the car, we watched three of them coming and going and "hanging out" on their "front porch." Argh!
