Just received this today. It's too late in the season (mid-July) to put it up now, but I'm going to review it based on how it compares with similar bird houses we've had. In a word: Great! We've had a similar house for three years. The first year, a bluebird family raised their young in it; since then, the sparrows have (unfortunately, in my opinion) chased the bluebirds away and raised their own. Either way, though, it's great fun to watch. I hang it in April or so, then I take it down at the end of the summer, clean it out, and prepare it for the next year. To mount it, I screw a couple pipe clamps on the back , then drive a six or eight foot piece of rebar into the ground about half way. Over that, I slide a ten foot section of one inch pipe, and pound that a foot or so into the ground, then clamp the birdhouse to the pipe. Works well. This house comes with a slotted steel bracket attached to the back (see my photo); I guess you'd put a screw most of the way into something wood (tree or post) and slide the bracket down over the head of the screw. I'm frankly not sure I'd trust that. We had another birdhouse earlier in the season, made of thinner wood, and a gust of wind broke it apart. I think this birdhouse is strong enough to withstand the wind (indeed, it seems quite sturdy), but I'm less sure about that bracket. There's also a small hole in the back just above the roof; I guess with the bracket and a screw through that hole, it would probably be stable enough. Finally, three #6 x 1 1/4" wood screws with plastic anchors (second photo). Again, these don't impress me as sturdy enough to last through bad weather; I'd suggest something a bit heftier. In addition to the house (if not the fasteners) being sturdy, this house has all the things a birdhouse should have: a ventilation slot over the door, an easy-open (for humans, not for birds) front door for cleanout, a screen just above the floor (also for cleanout), three grooves across the inside of the door just below the opening (these are to help the parents keep their footing), and a double thickness reinforcing the opening (the opening takes a lot of abuse from the birds), and boy does it ever smell piney! The roof is smooth wood, whereas other houses we've put up have ridges, sort of like rows of simulated shingles. The father birds like to keep a watch out on top of their houses; I'm not sure how easy that will be for them without the ridges. If that turns out to be a problem, I'll probably saw some grooves in the roof. There are also a couple features that I think are intended to allow you to set up a camera, although there are no instructions. There's a rectangle of brown plastic screwed on the inside of the back wall near the top (my third photo), to hang a small camera (do a search here at Amazon for WiFi bird box camera). One side wall has two holes (my fourth picture), a smaller one to pass a USB cable from the camera to the outside, and a larger one closed on the outside with a translucent piece of plastic, to let some light in. The opposite side wall has a similar light hole (my fifth photo). I'll try to update this review next spring, when the birds move in. Until then, recommended. Read more

The wax colors, no matter the combination- do NOT match my honey-oak floors well at all. The wax itself seems to stick and is holding up thus far, but I personally notice where I used them due to color discrepancy. It's only been a week so I can't speak on how well it will wear over time. The hot tool to melt is a bit slow, but works as intended. I would prefer they have a better scraper tool as most of the ones included are serated and dont leave a smooth finish. Maybe I just havent figured out the right combo of colors? But I'd consider my flooring a pretty common color in a late 70's home, and would love if something matched better Read more

This may be the best Blue Bird nest I have seen. It is constructed with Pine wood which is a soft wood but sturdy. It appears to be a high-grade wood without serious knots in it. The dimensions of the hole size, height of the hole from floor to center, and floor to ceiling is spot on according to recommendations for Blue Bird nests. There is a slot in the top front for airflow which pulls from the bottom which has air passages. There is a screen on the floor that fits in a slot on the sides that will keep snakes out of the nest, but they could get through the top slot. The nest box has a slotted hanger on the back to attach to a screw or nail but I would recommend not using this type of attachment. It would not keep winds from dislodging it from the tree or post, or from animals knocking it down. I drilled a small hole in the top of the back board and inside the box on the back to attach it to a tree with long wood screws. There is a tight fitting latch that holds the door closed and when unlatched it allows the door to completely open downward for cleaning and maintenance. The box also has a metal plate attached to the inside upper back that I assume is for attaching a camera. A hole in the left side angles up toward the plate where wires or cables could go. There is also a round 2-1/4 inch window on each side to allow light into the box. The only addition I would suggest is to paint the next box to keep the wood from deteriorating from the weather. I also noticed two small openings where the roof of the bird nest meets the back wood. This should have a small bead of caulk or weather stripping to help keep rain from entering this area. I'm enthusiastic about this box and highly recommend it. Read more

This is a beautiful birdhouse of unfinished pine wood that is the perfect size for the nesting bluebirds in my yard. We get bluebirds (and babies) every spring and our old birdhouse had just gotten to the point where it was just falling apart. This birdhouse has a nice sloped roof to keep the rain out, a front panel that opens completely for cleaning, an air vent on one side and drainage holes in the bottom, should rain happen to get into the birdhouse. The minute I opened the box it smelled like the wood had just been cut at the sawmill; so fresh. Three screws are provided to hang the birdhouse, which might be fine if you were hanging this from a fence, but I hung mine on a tree, where I had taken down the old one. I used the keyhole opening in the back to hook it onto a screw that I had screwed into the tree. Hanging from just this one screw did not offer much stability so I used a nail through the top of the backboard and then I wrapped heavy wire around the backboard to further secure it to the tree. I'm hoping this will hold up during high winds. Looking forward to seeing the bluebirds use this. Read more
