The Noisy Neighbors Above Us

May 15, 2023

We, unfortunately, have some noisy neighbors that have moved in above us. This photo shows two, but I actually saw three squirrels (and possibly a fourth) moments before.

It’s always been a bit noisy on our roof, as we can hear squirrels leaping from our neighbor’s building onto our roof, and then the pitter-patter of their feet across the shingles.

But lately, we’ve had more noises from our chimney. It sounds like a heavy piece of bowed wood, that keeps hitting the roof over and over.

It’s enough to where it happens early in the morning (and surprisingly, throughout the day as well). It’s been just north of annoying, and we may need to bite the bullet and shell out the money to get someone to come and catch/relocate these guys.

Me personally, I’ve tended to sleep fewer and fewer hours most nights. But the last few days, I’ve been woken up through their rooftop shenanigans, and have had some trouble getting back to sleep (circa 6AM). One of us may need to eventually move out, and I’m pretty sure it’s not going to be us.
