I had a Black Bear tear into the siding of my house last evening. Why, I don't know, but he signed his own death warrant... I'll be waiting for him.

Make sure you don't have bees or ants in that wall even if the bear doesn't survive. I found a bee hive taking up the entire 16 inch space between two studs from floor to ceiling in a dining room wall once. The little buggers had eaten all the sheetrock right up to the outer paper layer. I broke through when I leaned on it while I was on a ladder. Talk about all hell breaking loose!

Agreed. My rental duplex had a hive(s) between the aluminum siding and the cinder block. They made passage through a kitchen exhaust fan vent to the other side of the cinder block, between it and the interior drywall. Opened the drywall for renovations, and....bastards got me a dozen times before I could get out of the damn room. I felt like SWAT - tossed three foggers in the room like grenades and left. Never really did get rid of them, despite keeping a tennis racket handy all summer...but they seem not to be back this summer.

Checked on a buddies back lake camp..
A couple months ago one of my gutter covers had come off. I been to lazy to climb up there and re-install it. Been noticing alot of minor birds hang out on that corner of the roof. Pulled out this large nest
Since it's hurricane season figured I better make sure the gutters don't get clogged.

Yeah, I got a Dove in a nest on my back porch. I even put up wire spikes but nothing stops a mother when it comes to having children.
After she is gone I will have to come up with something else.

I glued 4.5" nails on top of our alarm siren in the shop peak above my Dodge/ Plymouth sign. Damn Robin's still build a nest on it.

Birds aren't heavy enough for nails to pose a threat.
Drop a nail on a board and it does nothing. You have to hit it with force to get it to do anything. A half pound bird doesn't have enough force behind it for the nail to do anything. They build nests in briars, after all....

I figured needing to build their nest 4+ inches deeper would be deterent enough. Can't sit on eggs with nails sticking in them
Well he did try and ring the doorbell at least .... you chose not to answer the door....

Only one other camp at the other end of the lake, 5 miles away.

Also replaced a 25 year old .5 HP chain drive garage door opener with a 2.5 HP screw drive.
This was the actual failure-
That nylon skid bolts through the chain with 6-32 screws! Like what holds light switches to the electrical boxes.
Hard to see, but one side of the slot the door carriage goes into is wallowed to an angle.
Door would go up but not down.
My wife called a repair guy and he charged $1200 to rebuild the door (or officered to replace it for $4K)
...and failed to actually identify the problem.
That's twice we've been screwed by that specific profession.
The door does move nice and has new rollers and springs.
...but that wasn't the problem.
First time installing an opener.
Wasn't too bad.
Glad the mount and wiring was already there, though.
2.5 hours.
