Not looking too good, the cornice and the fascia board on Claudia's Surf City, as Dada points out. It was a smaller hole last year, but then the rain drove in and the sun shone —climate got it, if not climate change.
It's a tricky bunch of angles. I have all the requisite molding stocks, mouldering and primed under the house. I might even try it myself. Except for being afraid of heights.
Trying to find a carpenter willing to do this small and finicky a job on an island of carpenters getting ready for season will be a job in itself. Maybe duct tape.
Fortunately we have no squirrels on Block Island.
Birds.
ReplyDeleteBirds did this.
I know! The starlings.
They've done it to my house.
Use duct tape to fix it, and then put a big plastic owl over the spot so the birds don't come back.
If you measure ‘tween your hammer and roof
ReplyDeleteThe numbers, as seen, is all your proof
You get yourself up there, and don’t look down
Work the rake board, cut the crown
Heights are your friend
It’s quiet up here
There’ll be no bones to mend
Jist leave down the beer
You can make this house right
This small scrape is calling
Spend your courage on height
But, save your fear of falling
Good one, Bo!
ReplyDeletePS I really can't do ladders.
