Extreme Birdhouses # 58 - 70
Hi everyone , Now that i am set up in my new shop i have been busy for the past month building more birdhouses .The first one is 6 ft wide 45" tall, 54" deep and made from 90 year old barn wood .















I built this next pile this past week , they are all made from 100 year old barn wood .









A few months ago i gave this birdhouse to my son and his new bride as a wedding gift .
This past weekend we managed to put it up .It took about 45 minutes from start to finish .

Very nice John. I have seen some of the pictures already but I really like the "subdivision".

AWESOME!!!!!! You know you have an "extreme birdhouse" when you have to use a tractor to mount it!

Thank you gentlemen for the nice comments ! The roofs are done with barn master steel . I use a skill saw and metal blade to cut it .

You really need to write a book. I'm serious, you need to do it.

How to book
- Photos of bird houses
- Plans (and option to order full size plans for more $$$)
- Construction technique - walk them through how to build one (starting with material selection all the way to finishing and mounting).
