The Jackhammer on my Roof

Well, since it is Spring Break, I am not in too much of a hurry to wake up in the morning. Around 5 am I heard a "tut-tut-tut-tut." Well, I ignored it thinking the construction workers at the house down the street were busy. Needless to say, the sound returned a few hours later around 8 am. This time, it sounded as if the workers were on my house. "Tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut." A few seconds pause and "Tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut." The sound got all of us out of bed. I went into the hall and it was even louder! I thought what the heck is falling apart and needs a repairman!

Well, I go into the kid's bathroom and the noise is absolutely raucous! "Tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut-tut." The strange thing is that the noise is happening at regular intervals. So, I go into Nolan's room and talk about a freaking drum beating as loud as possible. Turns out, a red-headed woodpecker decided to look for bugs on our roof! He flew away, but later came back when I was in the office and started his cacophony again. So, I started beating the ceiling. I think that scared him away because that is the last I have heard from that bird. We will see what the morning brings. But if I have too, I will start pelting the thing with rocks. I love birds but not pecking my roof. Besides, the neighbors have this absolutely huge oak tree that is half dead. Don't you think that would be a better pecker speciman than my roof???? :)
