Heath 18 Room Aluminum Purple Martin House (Model AH-18D)

I ordered a 4 story house. I put it together alone and had no problems understanding the instructions... Took a long time but I had fun with it! I did put on gloves, no biggie, the edges are sharp.
I bought it because it's inexpensive. You get what you pay for the better units are $400.00+. Would I buy it again, yes because that's what I can afford and all the inconveniences have to be dealt with. If you can afford a better one get one, but this is much better than none, I love the Martins.
The problems with this house are many.
1) You can clean it only by lifting the layers off and reaching inside thru the tops. You should not do this while the Martins are around. So I end up bringing it to the ground and using a shop vac in each hole that contains an unwanted nest. If there's a better way, I can't find it and have spent lots of time working with it.

Please, please, please! I beg you NOT to buy this birdhouse. There are NO included directions, the company web site has NO directions online. There is NO support at all. We have a pile of scrap metal on our kitchen table and two very disappointed children. I will be going to Home Depot or Lowes!

This product isof poor quality. I purchased because of precious ownership. I would be suprised if it will last 3 years. I do not recommend this birdhouse.
