    2 things I noticed. The first sanding disc you used didn't have suction holes in it to collect the dust and second, you didn't install the dust bag so a lot of the dust is now collecting in the filters.

    The prices some of these garden centers charge for boxes that are useless is criminal - I've seen bird boxes where the box it's self is very simple looks great and would probably be fit for purpose until you look at the roof which is clad in a highly polished metal (Polished enough to see my face in really well) which is aimed to compliment the bright colour of the box but will more than likely put the birds off using the box. And this box could of been yours for £17.50 or two for £30 needless to say I didn't spend any money and there still on the shelf.

    There must be natural nest sites too, cavities and such. Do you check for them, and record what you find? I used to be great at that as a kid - think like a bird! I didn't like to interfere with the nests though - quick look, if that, and leave well alone.

    Love this build - we have a bat that visits our garden early evening so I've always thought about putting a box up but part of me thinks it would be pointless as we have a large area of very well established very old tall trees that are less than a minutes travel by wing away . The Leyland Chocolate masonry paint looks great too. I know what you mean about the weather in the higher parts of Wales I visited Devil Bridge whilst stay in Aberystwyth and as it was a hot day decided to wear my shorts to keep cool however whilst traveling up to the bridge in the mini railway carriage which are covered with half open sides and we entered the clouds the shorts combined with the mist and wet suddenly didn't seem the best plan but still such a very beautiful place and the natural waterfall was absolutely stunning.

      @@projectnestbox Mine are pretty rough and ready - many merely blocks of wood with holes drilled in them. Some with bamboo canes. This year I have erected a few with cardboard tubes that I can take out, clean and store ... and nothing has used them! Poor weather and siting I reckon. The bees like them boxes that have been up for a while and in a place they know. I'm experimenting with suspensions of bee poo in water painted on the front so they sniff it out. I've a lot of leafcutters this year, no mason bees as it was very cold and wet when they were supposed to be about. I watch and listen to a lot of entomologists to get the siting right and tackle mites and other predators, so I increase the healthy population. Planting a lot more flowers too.

      ​@kwacker4km Hi, thank you for your kind words. My Salewa boots are used on Rocky mountains around the Brecon Beacons. Perfect for scrambling with such a tough vibram sole and reinforced suede. Not as comfortable as my Karrimor cheetahs, but much stronger.

Thank you forgetting back to me you have a great day and happy trekking 👌👍

    When I started making nest boxes I believe we were advised to use 9mm ply, nowadays RSPB and BTO would suggest 18mm plywood, and maybe marine plywood at that. That's not cheap. I did a local event where I got free wood from EH Smith and we made quite a few boxes with the community. I've made some woodcrete boxes that have been succesful, had a nuthatch in one of them. Fun, if tricky, to make. No joy with batboxes and owl boxes just had squirrels.

    Love your builds - as you know I make a few bird boxes in my job role and I'm just trying out the idea of adding an extra 2 or 3mm to the length of the sides and front plate to try and create a drip point to keep the rain flowing off the boxes as quickly as possible I've only made 1 of these so far as it was literally yesterday I came up with the idea and gave it a go.
