We live in the tree tops. It makes for a lovely view when it snows, which over that past few weeks has been a lot. Which makes coming and going and unloading a difficult, messy slog. There's an old air conditioner in the studio window, at the front of the building. The squirrels scurry up the overgrown evergreens in front. I've noticed that the accordion pleated extensions on the side of the air conditioner had holes in them, more like slashes. Sort of looking like something out of an Alfred Hitchcock film. This is a photo of the culprit. It was very close to scratching its way into the apartment, until I had the Man tape things up. The squirrel was hanging off the side of the building and grinning at us yesterday morning. It's a big one. I shudder to think about what would happen if the squirrel did make it inside, and then freak out when it realizes that this is not the place to be. The scratching that I've been hearing for a while that the Man said was tree branches against the window has actually been squirrel. I can hear it now, tonight, even.

Bah! You can buy replacement accordian pleats for an air conditioning unit at the Menards or hardware store. But it doesn't sound like squishy plastic is going to be enough to hold back this little dude! Maybe you should stash the A.C. unit inside the apartment until you need it again.
