Ian, Katherine and I knocked out the walls and ceiling of an upstairs bedroom so that we could insulate it and raise the ceiling a bit. Katherine uncovered at least five recognizable mouse skeletons, and we thought of the times we had picked away at owl pellets to find creatures.
The piles of mouse droppings were overwhelming and smelly. Ian uncovered three whole corn cobs, picked clean by squirrels in their attic nests. We had hoped for golden coins or treasure maps tucked away between the rafters, but no such treasures surfaced. Next week: new framing, insulation and finally dry wall. The bedroom will be transformed!
