How do you like my poem about a dead mole?Don’t you think it eclipses that hamster claptrap?

April 29th, 2009
Recital Vinylist asked:


Ode to a Mole

In that dark hole,
Mole was a miss
In that love/hate thang
Death was a kiss
Hang yourself Judas!
You pushbutton abuse us,
You take our fond wishes,
And simply get vicious.

A li’l roley poley
A sweet guaca-moley
She terrorized farmer
But no troll should harm her

Too bad that the misery
Should love that sad company
You blasted…you bled her
I n’er shall forget her.

Memories? I gottem,
When I see a fat bottom,
I cannot avenge thee
Butt, honor your memory
A hank of mole bone
And a hunk of blue hair
To me, just like Elvis,
You are everywhere.

RIP….Moley

glgjns: Sarcastic? I think not. Maybe nonplussed at the mole’s killers, but, I maintain that I maintained reverence and respect. Now remove your hat, when you read this ode. I will however consider odes to living things in the future. What about inanimate objects?
Mr. Dog,: Shouldn’t your name be “Salty Ball o’ Cotton”? You hamster
gangstas don’t scare me…bring it on!

How do you get rid pf a woodpecker?

April 27th, 2009
Mamma M asked:


I have a woodpecker on my house, he’s been there for a few days, and I can’t get rid of him. He annoys the hell out of the family. When we open the doors he leaves, but the next morning he’s back! Any suggestions would be great. I just want to wake up one morning and not have him pecking our roof. Plus I don’t know if he’s doing any damage to the house. Any suggestions?

What is the best way to repair woodpecker damage to redwood siding?

April 26th, 2009
Linda T asked:


We are getting ready to put a solid stain on our redwood siding. We have about 20 holes in the siding caused by woodpeckers. Some of the holes are quite large and involve both the upper and lower siding, making it pretty much impossible to replace the affected siding. What is the best way to repair the holes?
I might add that most of the holes go completely through the siding and into the insulation.

Have you ever had a woodpecker peck on a metal part of your home and did it do any damage?

April 21st, 2009
fifty asked:


This morning, I woke up to jackhammering which was occurring right above my bedroom on one of those metal vent pipes that extend from the roof.

Usually this woodpecker pokes holes in my wood siding.

So, I am wondering if I am lucky that he has elected to attack metal or will I end up having to pay for a costly repair?
