Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

I've seen them go into stucco. Plenty of houses in our neighbourhood have woodpecker holes within their stucco.

Maybe they like the insulation / styrofoam? Can't figure out what else could be in there that would entice them. One house has about 20 holes above their garage.

They like stains and rotting wood. Hope that bugs haven't moved in.

Was it Fruedian that you used a tool flyer to fix a hole , that should be using those tools to fix the wood paneling?

Paper is there in case something was nesting in the hole. It is easier to tear/dig/eat through a sheet of newspaper than a sheet of drywall. If the paper is intact in a couple more days, I'll patch it with tin.

One family helped their neighbours by plugging a hole in the exterior wall that wasps were nesting in. Neighbours came home to a house full of angry hornets.

Got a quote to put up a second story at the cottage…100k just for framing (rough price) with me being responsible for getting all the permits and approvals.

That includes second story framing, roof, and enclosing it from the elements.
