I've been busy. I took time figuring out how to put it back up. It took a new lag bolt. It's not a bird house, although the birds like to sit on top of it. Like all of us, it needed a new coat of paint and some glue to hold it together.
Broad-winged hawk from last summer, and brown-crested flycatcher.
I've repainted it, and it looks better. I painted myself for good measure!
The trick was to put the railings in. I tried gluing them, but it was a cold day.
It was tricky figuring out how to reattach it to the flag pole. Can you see how the railing fell off? I reglued it, swung it up, and hoped for the best.
VOILA! This is a heavy 6 x 6" pole. It is tricky! It is easier putting it back up than bringing it down. There are three rebar 'bolts' and I remove two, pivot it on the remaining one.
I hurried to repaint it and put it back up. I know the House Wrens liked the nest box in previous years, video.
Look who I heard outside! A potential customer. (Summer photo!)
It's a lousy image, but the song from this little thing!
