BIRDHOUSES

This project required the use of an

electric saw. . .not my area :/

My husband volunteered and made

a total of 7 cedar birdhouses for our

grandchildren and some of their friends.

We purchased several 6 foot lengths of

1" X 6" untreated cedar.

We gleaned a number of plans from

free on line printables and Youtube

instructions.

The cost of each house was

approxametly 4 dollars.

The bottom of the houses are screwed into

place to allow for removal of last year's nests.

The remainder of the house is glued and nailed

into place.

An angled screw hole at the back of the

house allows for hanging with a nail.

A new home waiting for its new family.

We had a number of our grandchildren together

to help with the painting.

And to help Grampie with hanging 

the houses from our backyard trees.

Our backyard has been transformed into a

little bird community with colourful little abodes

to choose from.

This morning a chickadee was taking a look

at the green one but hasn't yet made an offer!

:)

I'm thinking that at least one of these will

be pink.
