    Extreme Birdhouses # 58 - 70

    Hi everyone , Now that i am set up in my new shop i have been busy for the past month building more birdhouses .The first one is 6 ft wide 45" tall, 54" deep and made from 90 year old barn wood .















    I built this next pile this past week , they are all made from 100 year old barn wood .









    A few months ago i gave this birdhouse to my son and his new bride as a wedding gift .
    This past weekend we managed to put it up .It took about 45 minutes from start to finish .

    Very nice John. I have seen some of the pictures already but I really like the "subdivision".

      AWESOME!!!!!! You know you have an "extreme birdhouse" when you have to use a tractor to mount it!

        That is really awesome!! Is the roof tin or just painted wood?
        I think in straight lines, but dream in curves

            Thank you gentlemen for the nice comments ! The roofs are done with barn master steel . I use a skill saw and metal blade to cut it .

                You really need to write a book. I'm serious, you need to do it.

                    How to book
                    - Photos of bird houses
                    - Plans (and option to order full size plans for more $$$)
                    - Construction technique - walk them through how to build one (starting with material selection all the way to finishing and mounting).

                          Exceptional work, like all of yours that I've seen. Where are the birds?
