    Some sort of night creature chewed through one of the wires to one of the fixtures. What is the best way to fix this? thanks!

    Lights had only been in about a month, and the wire was shredded - including the copper. The culprit was squirrels, basty little nastards. We put the wire back up with flexible metal conduit, since I was concerned that they would chew through plastic again. I'm working on a proposal right now to light some enormous Live Oaks; all that wire will be in a flex conduit with a black plastic coating for looks.
