I've heard of chronic pain sometimes resulting. It was two months before I could walk halfway normally and do any work.



I'm planning to do a good chicken wire surround, perhaps with half-inch plywood on the inside to enclose the foam. I don't want the rodents having a chance to claw any of it out for their bedding. Or at least I'm going to use that 1/4 inch square stuff. The chicken wire with the hexagon pattern might not be a tight enough pattern to exclude rodents.



I've been researching the foam issue, with some good results.
