Watching a squirrel stash an acorn in a cavity I'd just filled with foam made me rethink my approach.

I was sealing a cavity on an oak in my own backyard last fall, and seeing that little guy just pull the foam right out to make his winter home showed me I was creating a bigger problem by trapping moisture against the wood instead of letting the tree compartmentalize.

Talk about a squirrel giving you a performance review. That little dude basically did a free inspection and failed your work. Nature has a way of humbling our best intentions.

Yeah, @josephs26, that squirrel sounds like a harsh boss. Nature doesn't care about your plans at all.
