Home projects to continue through 2018!

I heard the tap, tap, tapping outside my bedroom window a few weeks ago. I even opened the window, told him to "knock it off", saw the little red tuft on top of his tiny bird head and thought "aww....what a cute little woodpecker! I've never seen one up close!". Well, that destructive little demon PECKED HOLES IN MY HOUSE! This. Means. War. Lucky for that woodpecker my new family member is an indoor kitty!

His name is Batman. He moved in on Saturday. He's a rescue of sorts; could have been on his way to a shelter but thankfully for both of us, he now lives in Hanson. He is NOT my unwelcome house guest. However, READ ON to see who IS!

Here's his handiwork. I present: the Woody Woodpecker hole. How in the hell did I miss this little project?!

Apparently he attempted here first...or he was (is) planning on moving in the rest of his little woodpecker family!

I'm in it now. Bonafide home owner. I used this to plug up the holes Woody Woodpecker made in my house!!

The size of a fricken' tennis ball...and perfectly round. Filled this one up Sunday.

This is a bunch of little pecks that haven't yet made a hole. I patched it up Sunday, came home Monday and found more peck holes! Today (Tuesday) I'm going to Lowes Depot to buy a fake owl. And I'm calling Burgess Pest management to come over and spray for bugs. Sonofa$%&*@!
