Dude, that sounds annoying but is it really that deep? I've had plenty of homemade costumes fail in dumb ways and my dog just shook it off after I fixed it. Maybe just stick to the cheap store stuff if you're worried, feels like overthinking a minor problem.

Did you see his score drop again once the collection was gone?

I get what you're saying, but honestly some of those old timers are stuck in their ways and don't trust modern sweeping techniques so maybe the customer's got a point if the liner still passes inspection.

Did you try putting out a suet feeder? My buddy Dave in the next town over had one show up after months of trying. He swears by those peanut butter suet cakes from the hardware store, not the cheap grocery store ones. He said the bird came back every day for two weeks until a squirrel chewed through the feeder cable. Now he's got it rigged up with a metal cage and says the woodpecker still visits but the squirrel got fatter.

Man, @grayb64 is totally right about that. I used to swear it was all about the foil width, but after getting roasted for stripes (same exact client complaint, actually) I finally tried brick laying and it made a huge difference.
