Some of the things that have been keeping me busy this winter.
Let me know what you think.
If I don't get anymore pairs this year it won't be for lack of available cavities. I went from 20 last year to about 68 this year.
Some of the housing will be put up at my shop which is about 200 yds. down the street.
We'll see what happens, I'll try and post some more pics when its all up and hopefully loaded with PM's

Hey MB12RING, What kind of welding machine do you have? I am thinking about buying a Miller Syncrowave 200. I considered getting a spool gun for my MIG welder, but would much rather TIG aluminum with AC high freq.

Whenever anyone makes a tunnel or an entrance, just make sure that the martins can get out easily. Most people are concerned about the martins being able to enter, but its just as important that they can easily get out of the cavity.
Your work looks neat

It was done with a MIG wire feed. TIG does a nicer job but takes longer and I don't have access to one.
I don't know a lot about aluminum welding, this was done at a friends shop.
