re: #469 thedopefishlives

When I lived in Northwest Indiana, we had a house with real wood siding. This, of course, made excellent sport for woodpeckers. Unfortunately for us, woodpeckers are a protected species and can’t simply be eliminated. Matters came to a head when one plucky young bird drilled out a knot in one of the siding boards and through the plywood paneling, exposing the insulation. Needless to say, a way was quickly found to drive the bird off.

Good thing that wasn’t a heraldic woodpecker. Or all the nails would have fallen out of the house.
