How would you repair wood pecker damage like this. Asking for a neighbor.
Body filler. Put some backing in there, coat with boddy filler (keeping it below the surface), let harden. Then recoat multiple times, little at a time. When it's filled, use the premixed final coat filler to smooth and contour to match.

We used to fix them all the time this way, when I worked for Oppel-Jenkins builders.

Looks big enough for a nest site. I would hang a screening material in front of it....plug the hole with newspapers...caulk and putty accordingly.....

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.2C and it's presently 24.6C, partly overcast with a gentle breeze.

Just a quick trip into town planned IOT book a venue for a meeting for next month and then I think I'll drive over to Pyengana to get some cheese for raffle prizes for a meeting, in Ross, this Saturday.

I reckon that it's 'time' to organise having the paddocks limed this Autumn. It's been a number of years and they're looking 'tired'.

That's about it, take care all.

Afternoon all! Temps hovering between 32 and 33 all day. Snow cleanup is done. Around 5 inches of heavy wet stuff! Used the walk behind blower and it did ok. Still waiting on parts for the big blower. Looks like big cold spell coming after today with nights in the teens and single digits. At least day time temps will be seasonal! Going to just chill for the rest of the day.
Brother asked me to make a large paddle for when he is making pickles in a large kettle. I made one 19 inches long.(biggest I could make on my machine). Wife saw the completed one and wanted something too. So I made her my first spoon ever.
That's it for now. Need a nap!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Coffee is done brewing. 30° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 33° with good chance of snow. Dr appointment went well. No new meds or diets. Keep exercising. Stoked neighbors burn pile and added some more large branches to it. Weather forecast calls for up to 5" of snow today. May have to clean that off drive and walkways later today. Otherwise will be doing inside house cleaning.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).
26.2F going to mid-40s, sunny day changing to light precip this evening.

Finally done with training cycle at work, real jobs have started coming in, don’t have to see the same makework over and over and over and….

i guess that means I have to lock myself in the spare bedroom and sort out my piles of paperwork into something comprehensible…

Harry Houdini Hound howling horrendously at 3AM, never fell back asleep. Yay. I foresee several extra cups of caffeine at the office…

it would be nice to get up to the woodlot to harvest sap, but I don’t think that is happening today, unless precip holds off a couple extra hours.

i hope everyone is a happy healthy safe blessed day!

Frits hope you don't get caught in the "crossfire".
The pond is classified as an "in stream pond" meaning it has a stream originating up around the AT flowing through the pond and subject to permit issued in 1988. The pond I have is a regular farm pond for run off and does not require a permit.
Neighbor reduced the diameter of the overflow pipe and raised the water level to close to overflow condition. The moderate rain fall the last few days caused it predictably to overflow. The erosion of the berm at the overflow point has now caused it to overflow all the time
Requested the neighbor to lower the overflow pipe so it has more freeboard and able to flow full flow nested of the current limited flow. He refused and said he is getting a contractor to put some dirt on the berm at the overflow point.

34 outside this AM, heading to mid 40's. We may be in for a dry spell these next few days and we could use it. Have lots of standing water and squishy ground.

Not much on the agenda today. Hope it stays that way.

Wishing all a good day, be safe, stay warm.
