My sister who lives nearby just had a nasty spring surprise. They noticed a crack in their ceiling (inside their house) and thought it was a leak. After actually calling the plumber they discovered it was not a leak, but squirrels have been stocking pinecones in their ceiling such that the weight caused a crack in the ceiling! It will be a big job to clear all these pinecones away. They have found the entry spot so that has to be sealed as well.
It is kind of funny, not!

I sympathise...my ceiling has sprung a leak and I think it may be water from the upstairs flat! Repair people due soon.
Oh dear - as you say, funny but not funny. Hope the damage can soon be repaired! Squirrels seem to be very inventive! Hugs, Valerie
Sorry to hear about the squirrel problem. We have them visiting the bird table often.
God bless.
Yes, it's kind of funny. But not funny at all as a homeowner!
Squirrels can be very damaging but they sure are intelligent!
I feel so sorry for your sister~
Oh YIKES.....those little sh...crappers can do a lot of damage. Cost me a pretty penny to get them out of my eve over the house.
That's not nice for your sister - even though it looks funny!
If you can believe it, this is the second blog post I've read this morning about squirrels and pine cones! The other one was about a stash of pine cones (50 pounds) someone found under the hood of their car in Michigan.
OMGosh! If pine cones are the same to squirrels as money is to us, they must be rich to have stored so many they caused a crack! Yikes.
Oh, no!
It's only funny if it happens to someone else...
oh no, really is terrible for your sister Christine!
wow, I hope they found the point of entry and took care of that, too!
Uh oh! I hope the repairs go smoothly.
fuuny yes, but not when it happens to yourself lol
at least it was found before it got any worse
Oh wow, what a thing to happen!
That is bizarre
Oh my goodness! How awful. We don't have squirrels here in Hawaii.
Wow! Who knew they could stockpile so many?
It is funny dear friend but not for your sister i think :)
I was wondering about the photo. Naughty squirrels. I am glad your sister found the entry spot and the damage can be repaired soon.
