THIS IS THE SECOND HOUSE I HAVE PURCHASED. A LITTLE HARD TO PUT TOGETHER BUT FUN... ONE NEGATIVE, THE PLASTIC LEGS THAT ARE ON THE FLOOR WILL EVENTUALLY GET WORN..I SAND DOWN THE PART THAT GOES THROUGH THE HOLE, DRILL A SMALL HOLE THEN PUT A SCREW AND WASHER TO HOLD IT TO THE FLOOR. WORKS GREAT AND I DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE STEPS FALLING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON. ADDITIONALLY I DRILL A HOLE THROUGH THE MOUNTING POLE AT THE TOP WHERE THE CAP IS. THE PLACE AT 3 FOOT ROD THROUGH IT, THEN PUT THE CAP ON.  THE BIRDS LOVE IT.  LEAVES ABOUT A 1/4 INCH GAP FROM THE ROOF OF THE HOUSE AND THE CAP... ALSO I PLACE ONE OF THOSE SCREW TYPE HOSE CONNECTORS AROUND THE POLE WHERE THE BOTTOM OF THE LOWER HOUSE SETS NEXT TO THE SET SCREW.  ONE LAST THING I MARK EVERYTHING WITH SHARPIE SO WHEN I TAKE IT APART IT'S EASY TO SET UP AFTER CLEANING ETC.
