Eventually I gave up and removed the reduction plates and before I could say "spit" another species moved right on in.

Hi Garrett and thanks for your reply . I have all kinds of bats around my house and sometimes inside my house .
I have built a few bats houses but they were typical bat houses . A extreme bat house would look nice . I,ll have to give it some thought .

As always, very pretty work.

But make up your mind.
Is it a bird house,
or a "cat house"?

wow, those are pretty intense for bird houses. I've been thinking of doing something with my scraps, and turning an extra profit also.
