Dave Csaky, Seattle's squirrel man,evicted from tree and homeless until neighbors wheel in with new home.


In Seattle, the neighborly spirit of helping a neighbor was observed just this week.

David (Squirrelman) Csaky a self-taught carpenter,had lived for years in his creation - a treehouse, high above the ground on a 300 square foot self made platform - or treehouse, accessible by a ladder counter weighted with sandbags on pulleys on city land. In his cozy airie, he had a tent, wood stove, three chairs, shelves and a counter.He shared living space with Lucky a rat, Rainbow a ferret, and Tilt a squirrel.

Earlier this week, the city tacked an eviction notice on the door for all four of them.claiming the desirable east side property was a "health and safety concern."

The story of the quiet neighbor who hit really hard times became nationwide news, also reaching neighbors Brandon Ferrante 28, and Maria Bolander 27.They had befriended him after watching the tree house take shape. After learning of the eviction Ferranet said "It broke our hearts,he's taken care of the neighborhood. We couldn't sleep at night. We decided to make it happen." Browsing through Craig's list, they found an aging RV. Their landlords,Janet Yoder and Robby Rudine agreed to buy the rig for $500 after being offered the "Squirrelman" special price of $500. "David's a unique character but a good neighbor," Yoder said.

RV owner Timothy Custer delivered the RV Tuesday Evening, and decided to sell it to Csaky for a penny. "It's Dave's new house."Custer said.

To make the house a home, Ferrante said, the task is now to find a permanent parking place. "We don't want to see it get towed," he said.

Csaky, who got his nickname for his ability to tame squirrels, said he was amazed at the public attention, including newspapers,television,radio interviews, and talk show appearances.
