that's great advice -well at least it sounds like it, I will bear that in mind if we ever need to fill a hole quick in the depths of winter. thanks

Another thing you can do with that can of Great Stuff is squiggle it around to completely cover the surface of a board, then sand it a bit, and give it a subtle paint job of different shades of gray... and you have yourself a pretty good imitation of a stone fireplace for a high school theater set. You know, if that's ever something you need.

Jeez, you're a veritable cesspool of information, good shit that covers the ground.

So, I think this case is closed. I left the trap there for a week and there were no further visitors.....

yesterday, i vacuumed up squirrel turds and cardboard shrapnel, filled in the area with steel wool laced expanding foam, and then reinforced it with hardware cloth and another layer of foam. Then I re strung my lights, and tidied up a bit.

now I need to spend another couple days throwing stuff out and reorganizing what I want to keep. bleh
