That took less than one month. The little bastard spawn of the Devil woodpecker started the damage, and probably a flying squirrel saw a target of opportunity and chewed the larger hole.

I'll deal with the squirrel the way I always have...scorched earth!

But that woodpecker is too damned flighty (SWIDT?). And I really don't want to do the repairs on the house if I do get him the way he deserves...#1 buckshot.
