Thanks to the help of "Martin Friend", Dave Reynolds one of the new T-14's is up and had a couple lookers. Totally revamping an established site, so I'm not sure what to expect, but feeling good about it so far. Thanks Dave, wouldn't be back to this point without your help. All need now is...

Ok Nest Trays it is... Thanks Guys

What are the opinions on using Nesting Trays in the T-14..... Yes or No?

Dave, nothing yet but I'm still hoping to hear from him. I'll be in touch.

Thought, I had read that, but left my plans at dad's shop. Thanks for the quick response. "pear"

Question for you DIY T14 Troyer builders. How many "board feet" of lumber do I need to build a T14? Thanks, in advance, Randy"pear"Bauman

Ray, If you can't do any better sharpen the edge of an old spoon and scoup a cup out of the foam. Randy"pear"Bauman

Not a thing wrong with that !!!

Great numbers and good news for S.E. Ohio.

I spray about 120 gallons of 2-4-D Amine, every year for Broadleaf Weed, and it has no effect at all, on anything but weeds. Insect sprays will kill the food source, but the Martins won't be eating the dead bugs. I think if sprayed responsibly you'll be just fine.

I think I'm onboard... Learned about it in elementary school. Started at the end of the "Ice Age". LOL what a crock.

I would not worry about how close your house is as long as you have a good open flight path in. Stay as far from the trees as you can. "pear"

showing up here pretty fast now too. "pear"

Starting to show up here pretty good now too.... "pear"

I like that a bunch.

Looking better in SE Ohio finally. Raised another house and opened 12 more rooms for a total of 48. No nest building yet, but lots of pairing up and working the area for bugs.... "pear"

Yes I'm not fond of the Heath Houses, but I've got them so I'd like to get away from the round holes. Just hoping somebody makes a replacement or a fix. Thanks "pear"

Congrats! In this weather, that is amazing.

Anybody make new Door Panels For the Heath Castle "like" houses. I'm not able to fight the starlings with my work schedule, and it's a banner year here for them. Thanks in advance "pear"

Congrats Tony! Not sure I could have held in there that long... Again CONGRATS!!
