making birdhouses is my favorite thing to do…....you should try it to…I found this design online and copyed it…. two are black walnut, 2 are wormy chestnut and 3 are pine. the roofs and backs are maple to reduce rot and they are sealed in two coats of Helmsman outdoor polyurithane(dont seal the inside the birds dont like it)

These must be for an upscale housing development. These houses are first class.
Thanks for sharing.

Those are some fancy houses – but they are for the birds.

I had a guy at a lumber dealer tell me a store a few weeks ago that went something like this. “True story”
A lady came in and wanted to see a pile cut offs that were to be shredded into cypress mulch. She asked how much or the load so the yard man told her $25.00 for all she could get into her truck… She filled the truck, paid at the register and left. Well two weeks latter she came back for more paid her $25.00 and off she went. This went on for a year coming in twice a month so he finally asked her what she was doing with the wood? She was making Bat houses and selling them to the counties for $40.00 each The yard guy told me he figures she was making about $8000.00 profit per truck load and took about 60 – 70 loads over the 3 or 4 years he has been selling to her .

Wonderfull house’s !
I made a few Blue Bird house’s to help our native Blue Birds. The English house sparrows that were imported from England to help control the insects here in the states back in the mid 1800’s were killing off our native Blue Birds. While I was looking up the best way to make a bird house I ran into this site. http://www.nabluebirdsociety.org/bluebirdfacts.htm ( house Specifications and free plans are available here
The Blue Birds would love your bird house’s. I learned that Blue Birds like a 1 1/2 inch entry hole. I put a house in our garden and for the past 5 years we have seen them nesting and making babies all summer long. They are fun to watch. I even went as far as to put a tiny video camera in the box to spy on them. There is much to learn about the Blue Birds birds. They are very interesting birds.
Your bird house’s Look GREAT!
