The Wasps have got a taste for the currants we put out for the Blackbirds. There were about 20, so I didn't stay long !

Good :photo:s greg
I took this pic a little while ago:
I think the wasps have departed - haven't seen any around the box for a week or so and can't hear any activity in there
None came in the house

They certainly looked after it, Nuthatch, it's almost as good as new. The dismantling should be fascinating.

A fascinating construction
I'm glad to have been proven wrong about them being a pest in your house but I do think you have been very lucky.
