Another Save

Great. project. And the buyers were satisfied, and the possession time was acceptable.

Yeh, but what about the mortgage payments?

It is actually room and board. The bird feeder is about 30 feet away in a tree. They pay us with song every morning.

Too cool! Did you use any of your new redwood or is that fir? Hard to tell from the photo. The doves look very happy. Great story.

great story; great save; great box!!

(no birds in our dovebox… I guess we have it in the wrong neighbourhood.)
BUT—we did get a couple of bluebirds moving in, in one of Rick’s birdhouses!!!)

It is redwood fence pickets. I normally keep a few cheap ones on hand from the big box stores to make bird houses, etc. I’m planning to tear into the redwood this coming weekend. I’m going to make 2 adarondack chairs and a bench for my mom with it.

who said woodworkers cant be environmentally thoughtful??? great job!!! now i need to finish my birdhouse!!!

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

Anyone who says woodworkers can’t be environmentally thoughtful should spend a week with Frank.

I have a very bird friendly family. We have 5 pet birds in addition to the ones we “care for” out side of the house.

I don’t think that I’ve ever seen redwood fence in the eastern US. IS it true Redwood or is it cedar.

I live in Caifornia and am guessing that it was more of a sapwood redwood. It was the cheap fence pickets they sell in the big box stores. I do use cedar for bird houses as well.

speaking of birds …...
A pair of bluebirds moved into one of Rick’s birdhouses on Sunday! We’ve never seen bluebirds on our property before. It was really exciting.

Cool. I do not belive we get bluebirds here in California.

Great picture!

thanks. We really enjoy watching them.

Great idea! We’ve had a similar situation with doves. They’ve built a nest in the gutter – not so nice when it rains. And theybuilt another in a hanging plant basket – we had to let the plant die. It was either that or drench the nest. A box like this is exactly the thing we need – thanks for the idea!
