My husband and I are making our first attempt at being landlords also. We recycled a house and modified it to have larger compartments, added starling resistant holes and access ports and bought an aluminum telescoping pole with 6 gourds & a decoy. We have about $200 invested. We only got it up a few days ago, but a local expert told me that late March or April should be okay for a new nesting site. Let's hope he's right. If not, I guess we'll be waiting until next year.

Did you decide on a house, Lily_love?
