Yes, she is sitting on eggs, I have no idea how many. I have been watching them for about two weeks now, up to three days ago she was still dragging dog fur into the hole, I think she has been sitting full time on her nest only two days. It is hard to believe that she will raise a family in that tree, it seems so small, but I guess that is really what happens in nature. We are so privileged to see it so close up and personal. If I sit quietly in the car, she doesn't know I am there. I can't wait till the babies hatch, I will get to see the parents come and go when feeding. They are so discrete, we are making all efforts not to go near the tree to attract any attention.

Anyone use Home Depot or Lowes?
Q
Comments (11)
Hmm, long ago we walked in and talked to Home Depot asking to get some idea of prices and the cabinet person encouraged us to sit down and do a plan right then based on our measurements. If we wanted to proceed with ordering cabinets, we could either do so off our measurements or pay for them to come and measure to confirm. We walked out with a plan and prices. This was about 13 years ago though so practices may have changed. Or they may vary by store? edited to add: we did not use Home Depot. We were young and broke and ended up diy painting the existing cabinets (and diying new floor, new countertop, new lighting) because that's all we could afford at the time.

Has anyone sued Home Depot over defective cabinetry?

Omega is Masterbrands top of the line. Not sold at a box store. Nothing sold at a box store is top of the line. It’s all low to mid grade. Decora may be the best quality they sell, but it is FAR from anything high end in the real world. The real world is outside the box store. And they do not have a clue about high end kitchens. Once upon a time, I did 96K worth of Omega cabinets in a kitchen. That would be 135K in today’s money. Not even that fancy or large either. And that’s not the cheapest kitchen cabinets that were ever put in a house. Far from it. If you’ve already filed a lawsuit, no wonder they aren’t dealing with you and you’ve been told to go to arbitration. MB isn’t going to deal with you either. Lawyering up shuts off any working with anyone. Anywhere.

anyone have homes or cabins in allura midnight grey?
Q

I think this is allura midnight grey but not positive. I suggest taking as big of a sample you can handle to the site and place it in the position it will be on your house and look at it from different distances at different times of the day, to properly evaluate the color. Although the above is my design, you can see the design changes that were made by the home owner and builder from my drawing below. (sorry, I digress)

Ya know we expect pictures LOL!!! Good idea about not going near the nest. I wish she was higher than 3 feet. I have hoped for chickadees to nest in my boxes for years. Maybe I will drill a big hole in a tree :)
