Duplexes: "Voila! Fini, Right on Time" 4

Last One Packed Into the Car

"Be careful. The wee birdhouse is still wet"

I set up a tableful of birdhouses at a local school on Friday evening - in hopes of selling a few at a Mothers Day Sale the next day - and the last one readied for display was the above bright red duplex made from new and (mostly) rescued lumber. The paint on the little red birdhouse sitting on the front fence was still wet.

"Don't throw away your wooden spoons!"

Yesterday afternoon, after a relaxing walk-a-jog in Greenway Park (Oh yeah, I was jogging a bit!), I finished the last details on two more duplexes. Pretty solid structures, I must say.


"I like to use wooden spoons, forks and sporks for sperches" : )

The trio is made from rescued lumber for the most part. The only new lumber is the pine barnboard base. And that salad fork was only used once or twice before becoming a useful perch.

Cheers.
