Thank you Tony I was building a garden shed but then i got a little carried away so i am going to put my big screen tv and a couch in there in the summer time. It has a great view from every angle. It has 6 roofs, 12 hips , 8 valleys and 15 windows.

Thank you Fecn I get a lot of my ideas looking at old buildings, churches and hotels . I do get customers that ask for one built to look like their home or cottage. I just got a order to build 10 more for 1 customer in the states.

I,m glad you asked :lol: I just finished painting the roof and the railing I used a green paint on the roof called hosta leaf , it is like a olive color.

Thank you devonwoody I really appreciate what you did. :D

My thoughts and prayers go out to all affected by the flooding. It is very sad to see. I hope everything works out .

Thanks Lurker I have to admit i am not exactly on the same page as everyone else. :lol:

Thanks Lord Nibbo That's a great idea I usually get my ideas from old buildings here in Canada but i never thought about going over sees. :lol: I really love the old buildings and structures the most. They have a lot more character. I will do a Google search and see what i can come up with...

Thank you Lee I have a tour bus of 25 seniors coming in 2 weeks to see my work and to watch me in action. :lol: here are the final pics.

Thanks Rob :lol:

Thank you everyone for all the nice replies. That barn looks like it still has a few birdhouses left on it. :lol:

Thanks mailee The birds love them.

Hi everyone Here is my latest monster :lol: This birdhouse is made from 70 yr old barn boards and stands 6 ft tall. I still have a few things to finish like the roof and steel railings. I will post a finished pic when it,s done.

Thanks bob Here are a few progress pictures. I start by drawing a layout on a piece of plywood. I use a finish nailer to nail everything together. I cut all the windows and doors all at the same time. The insides are built in 3 sections and are removable. They go in after the house is...

Thank you everyone for all the very nice replies. I use a good size farm tractor to lift the birdhouses in place. It has no problem lifting these monster houses.
