Help, I just received the add a row kit plus hand crank cable( which I love now that I’m old, 40 years ago raising and lower everything with the ropes wasn’t a problem.)
Thing is the 12 up to 18 add on are sent with hubs that are sent are made to keep them off set so they don’t “ bounce” but it also requires to take all the hubs off and reposition the gourds. Here in W Central Illinois I have had a large influx of Martins this year, again earlier than usual and SY birds aren’t here yet. My birds are in nest building mode like crazy and I don’t want to change the position of the bottom two rows because they will start laying any day now. I’ve called in and they are checking with the manufacturer to see if I can get a different hub so I can change just the top gourds. Has anyone had this problem and been able to correct it at this late date?
Visit here this quiet nook, as songbirds rest their wing, hearken softly, whisper low, and perchance, you'll hear them sing.
