This morning with help from my son-in-law, I finally got five deep holes dug to erect four new Super System 24's and one more Premium Rack 24. We had to use a tractor operated post hole digger due to the huge rocks we were encountering. We also sawed down three old telescoping poles I am no longer going to use.
With revamping my colony, my new capacity will be 224 gourds. I ordered 64 Troyer Horizontals with tunnels and have received them. I have prepared over 50 new natural gourds with Troyer Tunnels and they are ready to mount, along with modified naturals and modfied supergourds I was already using. Each and every gourd of mine will have the Troyer Tunnels with Conley entrances. I am replacing quite a few old gourds that I no longer will use. The old gourds will make a nice fire in the cool, early spring.
My martins will start to arrive in two to three weeks, and this work should be complete within a week. I'll post photos of my colony's setup once we are done.
