It doesn,t take long before the birds start checking them out and moving in.

Great work John. Your bird houses are allways awesome.

-- bryano

Wow, this is amazing. My wife says it’s nicer than our house! You must be a real bird lover and obviously one heck of a woodworker. Great job.

-- Bob A in NJ

I think this is now my favourite.

re: book of records -that’s really exciting!! You will definitely have to blog that process.

Hi Pat and thanks
I get lots of birds nesting in them all year round.

Hello John;
—-great birdhouse there and what a habitat for the winged fowls of the air! And yes, I also know about those wood projects of two years ago and then the satisfaction of finishing.

Can the tower on top be called a ‘bell tower’ or ‘cupola’?
I also like the wood used….150 year old reclaimed barn board….matter of fact I like everything about your ”Extreme Birdhouse”.

You are a man of patience and a creator of wonder-full and awesome ‘wood art’!
Thank you for sharing this one….
GODSPEED,
Frank

Thanks again Frank for your very nice comments . I don,t usually let things go for 2 years at a time but i had so many ideas for other projects too so i managed to get them all done on top of this monster house. lol

Wow…that has to be the biggest birdhouse ever made! That is awesome! Another spectacular birdhouse!

-- Women love me.....trees fear me

Thanks again David

Great job John. Hope you set the record and then break it with the next one.

Thank you Karson
I have a feeling it won,t remain my largest birdhouse . lol

-- John in Cranbrook http://www.extremebirdhouse.com ....http://community.webshots.com/user/cranbrook2

John – your birdhouses are off the charts! Your work is mind boggleing. I’m crossing my fingers for you on the record.

-- I've cut that board three times and it's still too short!

Thank you shaun i appreciate the very nice comments.

I love each and every one you make. I love the roofs on this one and am in awe about the size of this one.

Hi Diane and thank you.
The roof on this one took me a bit of time ,not so much the framing but cutting all the steel and then grinding and painting it.
There were about 98 pieces to do.
I am hoping to set a world record for this one and if not i will just have to go bigger. lol
