Gita, went back and looked at birdfeeder instructions and it allows for exactly the difficulties you mentioned...I took a photo but in order to enlarge it's a bit distorted..but might give you some ideas...

It says to drill 2 holes 3" apart using 1/2" drill bit, then with scroll saw cut the inside out..this will allows for cleaning, you then cut a piece of 1/2" wood a little larger than the hole and screw in over the whole..when you want to clean the area you unscrew and push seeds out..also says to take a 1/8th inch drill and make a few holes on the bottom base to allow for drainage.....maybe try to do this and you just might want to keep your feeder...

Yep, I did check the plug, checked for breakage in the cord, checked for a re-start button but no go..so Greg says he'll come after work tomorrow or Tuesday and take it off it's stand and bring it to a shop that does all his motors and see what they can do..I paid way too much for this commercial unit to scrap it..so even if it were a few hundred dollars it would be worth it..poor girl has cut an awfully lot of wood since I've had her, sooo would say she earned her keep, time for upgrading and repairing...I'll fix her up..just like me-getting old...lol

chicken heads - Judy - OMG..guess Liz had a sudden urge to say she'd eaten not long before and was full..thanks but no thanks...I can imagine her rendition...sooo funny...can't wait..

Best of the day...visit from Anne, hadn't seen her in a few months..now that spring is coming they'll be up almost every weekend..she's planning their 40th wedding anniversary here in town..I'll help her out..checking on catering this week..so that will be fun...

Worse..of course wanting to do woodworking and no proper tool..I'll fix that, tomorrow I'll go get finishing blades for my jig saw...more ways to skin a cat..pardon the old expression...

What did I learn...I'm lost without my tools...almost like loosing a friend..well almost..lol
