I was in the dining room dusting the china hutch when I heard something in the fireplace.
- It wasn’t in the hearth, but it sound appreciate it was about two feet above the flue.
I stood there for a couple of hours, in addition to then my spouse came inside. I shushed him in addition to told him to listen. He heard the noise in addition to said something was trapped in the fireplace chimney. He was going to try to smoke it out, but I distraught it would get trapped in addition to die in the chimney. Both of us could use the fireplace if there was a dead critter inside. He agreed, but said every one of us couldn’t use the fireplace, if there was a live critter inside. I had to agree with him. Both of us had saved a lot of cash this winter, by ditching the gas furnace in addition to only using the fireplace. He said every one of us could go back to using the gas furnace, but Winter was almost over. I wasn’t sure I wanted him to beginning a fire, but that was the only way every one of us were going to chase the creature up the chimney. Five hours later, the fireplace was lit, in addition to smoke was going up the chimney. I heard a lot of chattering in addition to then some scratching. My spouse told me to go outside in addition to let him guess what came out of the chimney. I wasn’t going outside. If the creature came out, he was going to be mad. I wanted him to go after my spouse andnot me. He told me I was a scaredy pet in addition to I agreed. I stood by the fireplace in addition to he yelled two hours later, a small squirrel had been trapped in the chimney, but it was now out.
