Hi Janet,
If you need boxes to install in that center area, I can give you some
right away, and you can worry about the other boxes later. Let me know
if I can help. I understand Spencer Island also has martins that could
use homes...
Sorry to hear about your sparrows, I know how tenacious they can get.
