Walnuts keep falling on my head. Inside my house. The living room, to be precise. Oh, I thought it was a fluke when the electrician found a few walnut shells when he was routing new wire in the living room ceiling. Nope. Every time I swing the hammer and send more pieces of plaster falling to the floor, walnut shells tumble out along with pieces of loose-fill insulation that had been placed on top of the ceiling. Here's the worst part: Our lot DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A WALNUT TREE. Nothing close to the house, for sure. Not only are these nut shells part-fossilized, apparently, but some crazy squirrel was bringing them into the house and depositing them. Ugh. What a mess. The only upside is that these shells, if they are decades old, must have been spared much moisture over the years. So that means the roof hopefully won't pose any problems in the near future.
