something there is that doesn't love a wall
May 8th, 2008
And it's a squirrel or a chipmunk or something. It's digging in our decorative rock wall to create a sort or burrow for itself, and all the excavation is undermining the rocks and damaging the roots of the ornamental plants. I worked a little on shoring it up today, because we're putting in a solid effort to finish what we're calling our patio—although traditionally patios are surfaced with stone or brick whereas ours, largely, is not. In any case, the area is what the retaining wall is retaining, so hopefully it will hold together under the rodent's assaults.
