Hi all,
I have finally decided to finish a martin project that has been in my basement for years :roll: and am in need of a roof in the style that fits the old Heath hexagonal houses. I have tried several times to contact Heath, and after one initial reply saying they would send me one back in November.... crickets, aka no reply back, no roof, nothing. And no, a Trio roof won't fit my project, and I'd rather not build one; the angles are tricky.
So, if you have one of those old aluminum Heath houses sitting on a shelf somewhere, or one that you might have taken apart, I would love to have the roof of it. The one I need is similar to the AH-24D model. Send me a private message. Thanks!
