It’s quite the story.
Last spring did my usual walk around our property to see how many trees came down over winter and as I was walking back to the house I noticed the ac cover was all banged up. I was kind of ticked as it was brand new and figured it was just the wind that ripped it up. Upon further inspection, there are holes throughout the cover and the unit. Seriously looked like someone used it for target practice. The bugger even hit it so hard it almost knocked it off the bracket and bent everything to crap.
Called insurance and they had only heard of an animal wrecking a unit once before....I guess a squirrel destroyed an ac unit by chewing through a bunch of the electric internals. Thankfully, it did end up being covered by insurance. I have quite a red neck solution for it this year; two saw horses are standing guard hoping to provide enough of a disincentive for Mr. Buck. Funny enough, we have an absolute stud of a buck hanging around this year; he’s as big as I’ve ever seen. So every time we meet I tell him directly “leave my AC unit alone and I won’t tell the hunters where you live!”
