bigfootnampa Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 When I went to start a fire in my forge yesterday I discovered a twig foundation laid in the intake to my squirrel cage blower!! Luck was NOT with me as the nest builder seems to have been a believer in the "stouter is better" type of building. There were maybe 150 to 250 2" to 4" twigs stuffed into my fan intake!?!! I had considerable fun getting most of them out so that my blower could turn (a few will remain for who-knows-how-long as they are inaccessible now). I must remember to close it off from now on! I had just as soon NOT encounter "A SERIES of Unfortunate Events"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marksnagel Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Glad you looked before you leapt. Better to spend a little time doing preventitive maintenance than damage control at an inopertune time. Was it a bird in the squirrel cage or a squirrel in the bird cage? Mark<>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fciron Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I pulled a couple of egg-sacs of some sort out of the airbox of my girlfriend's Honda motorcycle last week. Unfortunately, that did not fix it. My first summer in this shop some doves built a nest on the outside chain-hoist. It only gets used occasionally, but when I need it, I really need it. Sorry, guys.
