Dear Mrs. (Mr.?) Chirpy,
I regret to inform you that I was forced to evict you from your new home. I am sorry that after all your hard work, I so easily destroyed your hopes and dreams of a simple life and a family. Unfortunately, your new dwelling was in an inconvenient and potentially dangerous location, and I had no choice but to do what was best for me. Just know that you will always be in my heart, and your ingenuity and perseverance serves as an inspiration to many. I will use the rest of this letter as a tribute to your accomplishments.
Here’s a shot of your front door:

I am impressed with the fact that, despite the flap that is normally closed, you still figured out how to get in. Clever girl…
You never did see this view, but here’s what your house looked like from what I could see:

I am also impressed with the fact that you went down a dark, vertical tunnel to build your dream home. You knew what you wanted and you went after it.
After I realized what you were doing, I was forced to take action. Regrettably, I destroyed your home. Here are some photos of the event:



That last one is a doozy! You see, the problem is that, while you may not have realized it, your house’s design could have started a fire. Then, we’d both be homeless.
Again, I am truly sorry that we could not live peacefully under that same roof, but I had to do what was necessary. Don’t give up, though; there’s a home out there for all of us.
Sincerely,
Sam

how. the. hell?
A bird or a squirrel?
Is that an intake vent or an exhaust vent?
I had a squirrel do the same thing to my furnace exhaust pipe at my house in Fredericksburg. We lost heat for a month before we figured out what was going on.
