Ever since we painted the barn/man cave the perfect shade of red, I’ve been sputtering about recovering the porch furniture because now… it clashes.

I recently bought some color coordinated fabric and found a local woman who’s going to do the job.

WTH?

The edges of all the cushions had been shredded!
I ranted, I blamed woodchucks. I cursed, I blamed mice. I sputtered, I blamed chipmunks. But guess what?

Looks like Mrs. Squirrel has gotten her friends involved with her revenge!! You don’t fool with Mother nature’s creatures!!

Nope. I saw that dastardly rodent try and drag a beheaded marigold into the baby barn. The gloves are off!

So, did you find a “bird anti-nesting” material to cover the chairs?
