Whether a couple who recently had £10 Cheap Derrick Henry Jersey ,000 worth of damage done by a rampaging squirrel would agree with these images is another matter. It was reported recently that this was the final figure to put right the damage caused as a result one of these fluffy friends falling down a chimney. Returning to their home after a weekend away, they were met with a scene of devastation. Carpets and soft furnishings were chewed and ripped. Wooden furniture was gnawed and even the window frames had been gnawed through in the squirrel?s desperate attempt to escape from the house. Wallpaper had been scratched off the wall and even the light fittings had been damaged. In its panic it had sprayed urine and faeces all over the room and the smell was horrific. Fortunately the door of the room was closed and damage was limited to one room. It appears that the squirrel had dropped down the chimney ? a fall of 30ft.
