raccoon update. Now that there are two men with guns waiting with a yard strewn with marshmallows, hot dogs and a trap set with cat food (that stinks) there is not a raccoon to be seen within a mile of the hut. As soon as they give up I am sure the critters will be back in force. 

Getting a very large glass of wine.Then I'll put the rub on my steaks.More wine if needed.
rotten things. My guess is when Sonny goes home and Mr. V is watching TV, happily hanging out in his favorite chair, that a minimum of 3 raccoons return for a late night chicken coop raid.
