revealed that the new resi dent may not actually be albino, as its appearance suggests, but an unusual breed of squirrel. The squirrel first made
its appearance last Thurs day when it made its home
in a hole in the wall at the front of a house in De Lacy Street. It scampered around the

but worth-while exercise is to cover the mortar with mastic to protect it and your home. This prevents water getting between the inner and outer shells of your house, keeping internal walls dry.

Moving inside the house, you need to look for the hidden things as much as the visible. How long is it since
your electrical wiring was replaced? Many old houses still have cables with rubber insulation, and that tends to go hard and crack with age.
Not only are you
risking spending nights in the dark with faulty wiring, you also risk your life and that of your family. A live wire shorting down the metal case of an appliance can cause shocks and fires, both of which are killers. If in doubt, call in an
