Hi everyone !
Last week i had a couple stop by and they wanted me to copy their parents house for a Christmas gift to give them as a surprise.
Here it is !!
It is 32” x 42” x 35” tall and made from 100 year old reclaimed barn wood .
It has 17 rooms and the insides are all removable for easy cleaning .
I also got a call yesterday and my next birdhouse article will be in Feb 2010 edition of Woodshopnews.com magazine .

Outstanding bird house.
Where did you get the metal roofing made to scale….I assume it is to scale?
With a little modification you could sell those as “doll” houses too.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments !!
Les , The steel is called barn master steel . It is mainly used on the exterior walls of a post barn .
It seems to work well for birdhouses too :) It cost about $ 3.00 a ft here x 34” wide. Then i use a skill saw with a metal blade .

Its no wonder why the birds don’t live in the houses down here…......too many upscale houses up north, why waste the time and energy to fly south!!!!
Another great job.
-- Doug, New Mexico.......the only stupid question is one that is never asked!........don't fix it, if it ain't broke!
