They're still good. You just need to tenderize them a bit.

Yep. Customer hadn't used the fireplace in years and wanted me to come check it out because they were planning on using it this year. Good thing they did. |

You should have seen the ripe one that I knocked off a smoke shelf onto the back of my head. It split in two pieces and maggots went every where! I had a Tyvek suit on and a full face respirator so I didn't get any on me. Unfortunately, the respirator doesn't filter odor and the sight of the rotten squirrel and all the maggots combined with the smell made my lose my lunch inside the respirator. Not wanting to clean up any more mess than I had to, I did a quick stealth like walk out the door trying to keep my head from moving too much with vomit sloshing around right under my eyes. Once outside, I pull the respirator off and go into dry heave mode. Then the next thing I know, the homeowner is standing beside me tossing up his lunch also. Wish I had video of that one. ...well, maybe not.

Hey, if you can post pics of dead/mummified squirrels, you can post pics of you in a space suit with vomit sloshing.

Even if I had had a camera that day, don't think the homeowner would have been able to take the picture soon enough before I passed out from not breathing. Plus the fact he was busy losing his lunch also.

That kind of person is a "sympathy puker." Apparantly, there are lots-and-lots of them around. That is, if he puked because you did. A sympathy puker is the kind of person that pukes when another is seen/heard/smelled puking. |

The disturbing thing is all those squirrels have that "Screaming for help before we give in to the reaper" look about them.
And I thought "Things I find in chimneys" would be a safe topic to open during my lunch. |

Strawman argument-they're not humans. It's hardly a tragedy.They're squirrels,they die all the time under the wheels of cars and various other painful means. You'll have a tough time selling the PETA argument here. If it bothers you,think of this thread as all of us celebrating the fact that a guy's house didn't burn down because Sweep did his job and cleaned out a guy's chimney. |

Didn't know I was being boastful.  If anything, the purpose of my posting the pic was to bring it to everyones attention that if you own a home with a fireplace, it'd be a good idea to have it inspected. Can you imagine what would have happened if these people had decided to just fire up the fireplace with all the highly combustible nesting material the squirrels placed in their chimney? The very worst they could have burned their house down and lost their lives. Very least, a chimney fire resulting in a few thousand dollars in repairs. And for the record, the fireplace had gas logs in it that they used last Thanks Giving and on Christmas Day, and that was it, from what they told me. The squirrels more than likely died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Once they passed out, they probably didn't feel a thing. Also, a human has been found in a chimney on more than one occasion. There was a case in Poland back in the 80's where a German soldier's body was found stuffed up on a huge smoke shelf of a home. Apparently the homeowner at the time killed him and stuffed him up in the chimney to hide the body. The chimney had such a good draft that the odor was never noticed by anyone in the home. And not to long ago, a skeleton was found in a chimney of a house that was being torn down. The house was being used as a commercial store and some guy thought he could climb down the chimeny to rob the place, got stuck, and died. They figured he had been in there for about five years because that was when the guy went missing by his family. ...and if I ever did find a human body in a chimney, you expect me to come here and NOT post about it?  I've also have pulled out ducks from furnace flues, 21 bats from inside a wood stove, 100's of birds, forget how many squirrels this makes, 27 tennis balls, a tennis shoe, a small basket ball, a hammer, several screw drivers, :::drum roll::: ...and a bag of weed along with a stack of nudy magazines. |
