> Interesting - I have some romex feeds to cable tv equipment in outside
wooden boxes at a local campground. As long at the boxes are squirrel
tight - no problems - when there is a hole that a squirrel can squeeze
through and make a home inside the box she will eat the insulation and
leave the bare conductors showing.  No fires or blown fuses or circuit
breakers but interestingly no blown up squirrels either!
