    That is Awesome, caring for and building a squirrel house for him, hope he will find a mate soon.
    You could make right angle pieces to put on to strengthen the box.
    Think about placing a water, container for those hot days too.
    Can use the hole cutter saw, on an edge to make hole slightly bigger; use sandpaper to make side edges smooth.
    Yes a front deck will be great for him and his mate!

    Hey Ms Heidi..
    Thank you for sharing your absolutely precious friend Woody the squirrel. Really your very lucky to have such a precious relationship w/your rescued squirrel. We had one in the backyard. He'd eat peanuts out of our hand. Animals are so beautiful. And when we get to have special relationships w/them. It shows another side of them. When they have some tamedness to them. It doesn't happen often, so i think that's why it makes it so special.
    So its awesome that you've taken the time to share this experience. Thanks again
    Ms Heidi..😍❤️‍🔥
    I hope little Woody has grown comfortable in his new habitat/house. Please let us know how he's doing. God bless!
    ✨🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼✨💞🐿️💞

    You can give him strips of material to make the nest more comfortable. For what you have you did a great job. You should've used 1x1 strips in the corners to screw to to make the structure stronger, just attach some branches across the front for him to climb in and out of it

Have three birdbaths and 7 bird houses now. We love to sit under the pergola on our back deck and watch all the activity. So happy for Woody he's got a good life now. God Bless you and Andy as always may each day be a special day for Y'all!!

    i love how he was taking the branches from you and using them for his nest. My prairie dog used to do that with tissues and paper towel rolls, she'd snag several tissues off the end table, stuff her mouth and bring them to her cage, it was so cool seeing her make her nests. Rodents are such fun pets! Like the video, keep em coming.

    Kind of a touching story line honesty. Your spiritual connection to this little animal that gets little respect in nature. A credit to you Heidi. I never knew squirrels could be so smart and also so careful around humans. I would never touch one for example.
    I admit to be in a bit of awe about the whole thing including when you were providing branches which the squirrel knew to take in his new house.
    I did build a pretty fancy dog house a few years ago for my German, Weimaraner...a very tall and majestic dog that would stop traffic when I walked her. While I was building it, the dog was by my side and seemed to know exactly what I was doing and when complete walked right in. This dog wouldn't fit in a standard size dog house.
    If I were to make one suggestion, it would be make the opening a bit bigger...chance the squirrel may get a bit bigger as well.
    Educational and of course I would be remiss if I didn't mention your beauty as well which no doubt is enhanced by your relationship with nature.

    • @fabianpatzschke

    From someone who owns the "correct" tools to build this. Nice work. I've done this type of work because I didn't want to add 3-5 extra hours setting up the "proper" tools to make it perfect when no person or animal was going to care one bit about the difference. One of the things I enjoy with your channel is that you've done a lot of things I've never tried, and I've done things you are trying for the first time. I'm not going to put you down for trying new things and how it ends up. Stuff that is old knowledge for me is new to you, and stuff that is common to you is new and weird to me. I love that you share your knowledge and I hope one day I can offer some to you that is valuable in return.

    building something you've never built is a learning process. you did well with the tools you had a hand. the saws all blade can go both ways depending on needs. you can attach 1x1" sticks across the bottom floor to hold up the wire mesh. or screw a piece of plywood under it, having it overhang like the roof just big enough for him to sit/lay down.

But you actually succeeded. And I cut into my table. 37 years as a carpenter. I pains me to admit it to you. Well done lol😂❤

    All I'd say to woodys home is maybe a hinged roof for easy cleaning or to check inside. The mesh floor is good idea for water, pee etc, but will be very draughty, and cold so may need to re think that.

  • @rickyweber2651

  • @ricktaylor3748

    Heidi, Dewalt makes a set of drill bits with the hexagonal shank for your impact drill. (go to Lowe's) If you put some cedar shavings in Woody's house, it'll keep fleas off your baby.
    Offer Woody some beach or oak leaves for his nest. Please keep an eye out for hawks, they'll gladly swoop down and snatch your buddy for their dinner.
    I hope Woody lives a long and happy life. 🐿😘 👍

    My father back when he was a teenager, him and his sister found a squirrel in there yard, but noticed it was dragging it's back two legs. Apparently, the squirrel's hind legs were paralyzed. It was so friendly, they took him in as one of the family. He was so playful and full of life. When grandma used to do laundry, he would always sit on the pile if clothes and watch her do the laundry. They had him for 1.5 years. He ended up getting sick because the hind legs were beginning to die but for the time he had, he had an amazing family to care for him. ❤🥰💚
