Construction Daily

This morning Shannon took a bunch of my family (who were in town for my sister Rebecca's wedding yesterday) out to the house to check out the construction. Many of them had not seen the land since our wedding, so this was their first view of the vineyard and construction. Bad news though - when they got inside Shannon discovered that two woodpeckers had flown in. Not good. So she called me (I'm in Houston doing a show) and asked what to do. So I called Ron, and he said try to shoo them out an open window with a broom. Otherwise, get a BB gun.

So long story short Shannon recruited my cousin's husband Gary to help out. He came over (with my other cousin's husband's BB gun just in case) to try and get them out. Luckily they were able to scare them out before rolling out the artillery. Then of course Gary got roped into figuring out how to close off the door openings so they didn't get back in, but luckily there was some plastic sheeting around so he was able to nail that up over the door openings. Good times.
