It has been a very busy summer and to end it off I just finished these two very large birdhouses . These houses are 9 1/2 ft wide x 6 ft deep x 7 ft 2" tall. These bird hotels both come with twin rooftop pools and they are made from white cedar .

John, How great to see more of your wonderful work. I steer people to your pictures now and again when the subject of "a really big birdhouse" comes up. the ones you do that look like the main house are a real treat.

John,
Your work continues to bring me great joy. Only downside is my wife asking when I'm going to stop doing commission work and make something wonderful for our yard like John does.

Kudos Sir - Bill

Thank you everyone for the nice comments ! A lot of times I build things for my yard but as soon as I set them outside someone comes along and buys it so I never get ahead :)

That's a good problem to have if you want to keep yourself supplied with materials and tools, I imagine.

By the way, john, I put a couple of your pics on Facebook, attributing to you, and they have gotten a quite number of positive responses.

Nice .. I assume the first two pics are of squirrel-resistant feeders ?

If you run out of places to erect one of those bird houses, you can put one up in my yard. :D Really excellent work.

The first 2 pictures are actually more for the squirrels , chipmunks .They like to dump the food everywhere and with these designs they cant do that . I also get small birds that go in there but the larger ones wont .

Thank you Lee ! I ran out of space a long time ago , its getting harder and harder to squeeze them in .

Got 'cha. I'm having a bit of a beef with the mourning doves right now. They tend to shovel the seed off the feeder, seemingly by the handful, looking for their favorite. It's OK, though ; it leaves food on the ground for the chipmunks, squirrels, raccoons and possums .. even crows, for some reason, this season.

Nice work. I've made a couple feeders myself, but I lean towards the utilitarian end of the design spectrum. Basically seed hoppers. What do you use for the roofing material?

It is a product called Barnmaster steel , it is used on pole barns here in Canada . I don't think you have the same thing in the states .

We have that here. Pretty heavy duty for a bird feeder!
