Problem Solved and Other Various Things

We hired an exterminator a few weeks ago to get rid of the carpenter bees that were infesting our roof/attic area. The bees were the reason the Woodpecker was pecking at our siding. We figured if we got rid of the bees, the Woodpecker would follow. Little did we know how literal that would be! We found the Woodpecker last week, laying next to the house. It looks like he'd been there awhile. His last supper must have been on what the exterminator left on our house. The Woodpecker won't be bothering us anymore. We were going to take a photo of him to post, but yesterday Eric went out to find it and it was gone. So either the Lawn Guy took care of his remains or some other animal did.

We've been busy painting more rooms in the house. We contemplated hiring a painting company to do the kitchen/den area, but after we got a $1500 estimate, we decided just to do it ourselves. That was motivation enough to just get it done! Yesterday we painted all day. The kitchen is done and looks wonderful. The den is half done, we are going to finish that up today. When it's all finished, I'll post before and after photos.
