The title on this was "Mouse filmed tidying up man's shed every night"  but to me it looks like me, accumulating stuff for my house, looking at it as a puzzle, and saying "not this piece, yes that one" and collecting all the pieces that fit my vision.
This mouse has a vision, and collects the pieces of it.
Yay mousie! Build a good house!

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

Watched it again... what interests me is she puts as much care into choosing small parts as well as big ones. In my signature I have "Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail. " She is designing well, at every level of detail. She will like the house she makes :D

Deep thoughts about mice. And construction.
:D

That's one ambitious mouse! I wonder if the "trash" has been sprayed with something that appeals to Ms Mouse?

That's such a cute video. I just wonder what the mouse thought they were doing? It doesn't seem an obvious place for a mouse house - on the middle of the bench. They were clearing the deck of stuff, gathering it together. If they wanted it for a house I would have thought they would have taken it away somewhere, but they were carefully putting it in the tray.
I wish someone would tidy up after me so carefully....

Maybe the next step of the plan was to push or pull the tray to where she needs it :D It's a mousie trailer!
