I turned on the sprinklers and he took off. Better than a hot shop How he got up there, I'll never know. I would have been heartbroken if I squeezed him.
That is unique… but I have a better one. I have several pet roaches that have taken up residence in my shop and unfortunately I can not get them to leave.
I had a lot of toads in my shop this summer. I found them nesting behind my scrap bins and lumber rack but I gotta say I never found one in any of my clamps or tools.
I noticed a humming bird on a fuscia a few years ago at 20 degrees and when I tried to get him he flew off. The next night he was there again and was just holding on to the branch like frozen. Not knowing better I gently held it while cutting the branch and took it inside my shop. I made some sugar water and held it to his beak and he sampled some and then more then spread his wings for a few seconds and buzzed around the shop for hours. The whole time from the time I took him in to the time he flew, about 3 minutes he was in my left hand while I was able to take some pic's. Sure wish I made a movie!
In this vein of animals in the shop, my shop is in my garage … actually, the garage is my shop! There are a lot of cats in our neighborhood and they apparently have decided that sawdust is good litter. One day I turned on my saw, I had previously set it up for a cut, and surprised the neighborhood gray cat so much that he ran out, from under the saw, without finishing his job and with another small brown tail below the large fluffy gray tail.
Needless to say I could not finish what I was going to do as I was laughing too hard! That cat still comes around but I haven't seen it near the saw.
I had just painted a dresser and left it drying in the shop, with the garage door open to let out the smell. When I went back to it a few hours later, there was all cat paw prints and black and white fur on the inside of the cupboard base.
Mr Tibbles must have gone home with a "Wheatgrass" coloured tummy.
