Enjoy your visit!

The previous feeder setup was not sturdy. If the soil was wet, or it was really windy, the weight of the feeders would pull it and it was often angled instead of straight. So the new feeder is certainly better in that regard. The previous feeder had a squirrel guard and it was nearly impossible for a squirrel to get up to the bird seed. The new one performs well, but it occasionally gets a squirrel up there. I dont really mind. I have the option to add additional hangers to the new post and it is easy to do where with the former, I was limited to what was there originally. We now have a feeder with mosaic glass that shines in thru our bay window. I wouldnt have had the confidence to put it up if I was using the former one.

@@tastyfishsauce4410 We get a squirrel up on the feeders every so often. It is not squirrel-proof, but it isn’t often. I prefer the aesthetic of the vinyl post and I’ve come to terms with the fact that I may spend more money on seed because of it. Thank you for reaching out!

We recently put up a bird buddy camera feeder which has a platform.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you! It was fun to build!

Yes the light works. It’s nice to see it on at night. It’s not bright, just a small solar powered light.

We have had squirrels get up there, but it is not frequent. I’ve considered creating a tube section in the middle, and painting it, but it hasn’t been a big issue for us. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for that information. I wasn’t aware of that!

Thanks!

Sounds impressive! Thanks for sharing!

Glad you enjoyed it!

That would be a good idea, thanks for sharing

Thanks!

Thank you! 😊

you can use the yucca to grow plants. Instead of eating it, it can provide you with other uses around your camp.

We have one squirrel that is smarter than the rest. We see him up there occasionally for a sunflower seed breakfast! Haha oh well.

The sleeve does not touch the ground, rather it sits elevated off the ground resting on some spacers. It sits slightly behind the trim pieces which provided a cleaner looking edge visually and this way I didn’t need drill into the sleeve.

The UP is the best place on earth! Thank you for the note!

Thank you!

Thanks! We certainly get our fair share of grackles!

Thank you!

Glad I could help!

Thank you for the nice compliment! It was a fun build :)

And it wouldn't have looked nearly as good. He did a great job.

I was unaware that compostable K-cups existed, thanks for sharing!

Agree. Thanks for saying so: the whole idea was to remove steps for making and dealing with coffee time - now there's way more extra steps! haha ....dammit

Thanks! We didn’t have a squirrel on it all summer, and I wish I could say that we have never had one, but we saw one this past October. Since then we haven’t seen one. So mostly squirrel proof! Of the squirrels that live around our house, it was the “smart” one..

It has been a while since I played the game, but I believe that they would respawn. Im not sure if updates to the game have changed since I played last.

The filter I use to catch the grounds that stick to the K-cups is tapped out directly over the trash can, or with smaller amounts of grounds, on to a folder paper towel or a secondary trash container. The mesh on that filter can start to clog up with regular use and drain slowly, so using some dish soap with a soft brush cleans it well. I would say I do that once a week or when I notice that the filter is draining more slowly. However, rereading your comment, I am not sure if you are referring to a different filter for a different Keurig model? If so, unfortunately I am not familiar with so of the other devices. Thank you for the question!

@@jeffschmidt207 Thanks

thanks, that is good to know!

I think you might need to wait longer. It would always return for me. Make sure that they are staying watered too!

@@jeffschmidt207 you were right! I just left them alone and went along doing other things and they eventually regrew. That’s awesome because there was always so much water leftover in the plot and clearing it then regrowing them gets rid of all the retained water

@@s.m.9963 The great thing about fibrous leaves from yucca is that you can use it to replace sticks for a fire as well as for your water stills...

Thanks for the question, I have been waiting to see if mine will regrow. They look dead and do NOT highlight as a yuca. It is as if the plot dried out and they died, but the plot has had water the entire time.

Glad it helped you out!

Safety first… in my next video!

I'll wash everything with soap occasionally, but it is not a daily occurrence.

should...residual oils will make coffee bitter

lastpme which mini filters?

I like the idea of using the filters, I will need to try that out. Thanks for the tip!

I am glad you liked it!
