My wife came in the house Saturday afternoon. She whispered squeamishly that she had come upon a squirrel, who appeared to be expiring in our driveway. I went outside and found a shivering, wet, and immobile little squirrel. The poor thing lying helpless on its side. For pity’s sake, my wife thought asphyxiation would be the thing, offering to fetch a plastic bag. Even though she was probably right, I choose to err on the side of, ‘you never know’. What can I say… I don’t possess the Kevorkian gene.
So instead, we scooped him into a cardboard box, and wrapped him in a towel. It looked more than a little bleak, but he seemed to appreciate his last rights care. I checked on him a couple times, without hope. Upon the third inspection, he was up right, seemingly dry, and alert. He seems to have recovered and was very excited over our garage and care.
Similarly people may have a roof that seems to be breathing it’s last breath. Leaking more fluids than an expiring tree rodent. Others may write it off and recommend a plastic bag, but it’s not uncommon for us to save what appears lost.
That squirrel’s recovery was possible due to an answered prayer. A reminder that it is always worth a little more investigation. Now I smile when I hear the rustling tree branches around our home, a nostalgic reminder of rodent repair. A squirrely lesson to never give up.

8 years agoMy two sons and I grew up and in Buffalo and the three of us listen to WGR regularly. I live in Alabama, one son lives in Washington, DC and the other in Denver. We love your quirky commercials and the reference to the F-18 and Knights Templar and we sing the jingle when we talk to each other on the phone!!! The commercials are brilliant! If I ever needed a roof, I’d call you! I hope the advertising is working for you. Enjoy the beautiful fall season.

Thanks for the encouragement! ‘Of The Sea’ marketing is responsible for the creative delivery. We wish you and your sons well and hope we can continue to deliver advertising worth talking about, followed by roofs that live up to those bold claims. Thanks again!
