Extreme Birdhouse # 52

Project by john posted 111 days ago 448 views 0 times favorited 20 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Hi everyone , Here is my newest Extreme Birdhouse . I built this bird mansion for a actress friend of mine Candy Clark from American Grafitti . This new home is made from 80 year old reclaimed barn wood.
It has 21 rooms and a roof top swimming pool .

A rooftop swimming pool. How appropriate for an actress’ birdhouse. Very cool.

Great Hollywood Manson John. You should build one that is modeled after your now house in live in.

Just awsome!!! Shouldn’t you put up a fence to keep out the bird paparazzi?

I love this design..the pool/birdbath is the icing on the cake! Do the birds own the Corvettes or do they just lease them for the photo shoot like all the rappers on MTV “Cribs”?

Hi John;

Glad to see you didn’t forget to put a fence around the pool. Otherwise, it wouldn’t meet code!

Those bird are driving Vettes? What happened to just flying? Where are you, Beverly Hills?

Oh, by the way, nice legs.

Looks good John.

Great looking bird house as always. A few questions if you don’t mind.
1. How do you clean the bird houses?
2. Do you use any glue or just fasteners?
3. Do you put any finish on the bird houses?

Just wondering!

God Bless

Thank you Tom , The insides are all done with 3/16 plywood and they are all removable . I use 2 1/2” galvanized Finnish nails to fasten the logs and i do use glue and a brad nailer for any little pieces .
I use a water seal on the exterior .
