Woodpeckers, caulk, holes, and desert

I recently have been trying to do more of the house "things" that need attention - but everytime I look at one area....another pops up!

Today I discovered that the caulking job "Mr. Handyman" (the company...not me!) did has disintegrated in less than a week.

The corner of my yard near my driveway looks a lot like desert.

And there is a hole in my siding from a woodpecker - apparently a Federally protected bird - you can guess why I might know that!

Oh, and I just had a new roof put on my home two weeks ago.

Oh, oh and while I was looking at my outside walls I pushed on the corner of a board and my finger went through it. Not good.

I can't wait to live in a 2 bedroom condo again......

*sigh*
