Default Up she goes !!

A few months ago i gave this birdhouse to my son and his new bride as a wedding gift .Well today we finally got it erected .
I built it almost 3 years ago so it was nice to finally see it go up !
It wasn,t a great day for pictures but it was pretty warm considering .

I'm positive that the new addition to your son and DIL's home will be the talk of the neighborhood for the next few weeks. Yet one more superb creation from our Canadian friend.

Default Extreme Birdhouse # 70

Thanks everyone , This is my latest Extreme Birdhouse .This bird mansion is made from 90 year old reclaimed barn wood ( hemlock )
It is 6 ft wide 45” high ,54” deep and has 30 rooms . The house weighs about 400 lbs . It has a screen in porch , gas fireplace and 2 bay windows . The base is made from 2 1/4” thick hemlock . It will be mounted 8 ft in the air on a single post . This one took me about a month to build .

Any chance you could make one about 10' by 12' .....I'll live in one! Just make like a huge garage door on one side so I can get in.

I'd use the birds for heat in the winter, the droppings I'd use for....I don't know.

But those are some amazing birdhouses.


The one you just pictured, how much is that one?


If you don't have a facebook group, you definitely need one to show to the masses. I just recently posted your link to many to show everyone the craftmanship.
