My sister was my inspiration for this birdhouse.
Her birdhouse is amazing and huge, and when I saw it, I knew I had to build one.
Mine is small and modest and I built it that way cuz
I don't have a maid who can clean
my birdhouse all day.... all those windows!
My window frames were made from salvaged barn board. |
Grey exterior caulking was used as the adhesive and grout! |
This was used around the windows to make it look like the lights are on. I think my lights were off when I did this. I can't say this is my favorite part of the birdhouse. |
Now to add the perch and hole side. |
I beefed it up with some 3/4 inch plywood so that I had some meat to attach the perch to. |
Shingles were salvaged from an old shed here on the homestead. I think it took two shingles cut into smaller pieces to cover the roof. |
I bought this sheet metal from a liquidation place years ago. |
and turned it into a ridge cap! |
And three seasons later, here she is....
Still standing!
Cheers.
