Destruction outside the construction

It has been a fun ride for the all kitchen thing. Carry on a lot of hard work and exhaustion while enjoying every progress. Well sure a lot of frustration was carried along. Well we finally have had sink and dish washer in place. However we have a problem to find a right switch to connect faucets to water pipes. We have been back and forward to lowe's four times. Fortunately it only takes 3-5 minutes to drive there. Well We just gave up and left the problem for tomorrow. We are getting close to have a functioning kitchen after half years cooking outside. The tunnel is near the end.

While we constructed inside, I noticed a creature conducted destructive action right outside our kitchen windows in this cold snowing day. Sammy found out weeks ago that a squirrel peeled barks off the tree. I am not sure if the tree will survive since the bark of main branch is gone. This morning I spoted the squirrel peeling bark again and bundling the peels together. I thought that he ate the peel at first. Now I think that he tried to build his net with barks for preparing a very cold evening. I just can not be fond of squirrels. We had squirrel nightmares when we lived in Atlanta. They are terrorists for real.

Mr President, do you have a plan for us to eradicate them?

We need to ask someone in the know what kind of tree that is. It looks like a giant honeysuckle, that has been growing nearly a century and has a trunk that's a mite bigger than a sapling and much bigger than any honeysuckle--old or young--i've seen. Anyhoo, somehow that bark just peels right off in loooooooong strips. Someday we will follow the squirrel to his magnificent basket of a nest, above somewhere.
