Default Looking for bird houses for swallows

After I built my house and then shop, I swore off wood working, and although I made a cool aluminum birdhouse, apparently in the sun it is a slow cooker.

If anyone has some, 4-8 I would buy them.

Tia.

This is the norm for them. I have 3, and they are here now, have 1-2 weeks to get them up and filled. Swallows = no Mosquitos, so I want lots of boids.

I have a bunch of Cedar boards that are cut offs from a fence project in town. They are about 2+' long. Lots.
You are welcome to them if you can figger a way to get them to your place.
Or a person that wants to make the bird houses for you.

My plan was to build a bunch of Common Golden Eye next boxes.
With the Magpies around here, they would have ended up as feeding stations.
I'd rather have the Magpies anyway. They "work" for me, cleaning up Cat kills & kills from all the mouse traps.
(I was feeding one puppy chow the other day & it gets within 4-5' )

I was in Lloydminster yesterday, so I bought some planks. There are 7 new sparrow apartments with a open for business sign on them.
