Good Morning Birdie Family!!!
This awesome birdhouse was at my Mother's house and really needed some help....
I loved the mossy entrance ...
and the great growth on the roof...
But it had a problem....
All that mossy goodness had rotted Mom's birdhouse...
It was wet and falling apart... It crumbled as I moved it.
This birdhouse really needed an Extreme Makeover...
In an attempt to save it, I took it apart...
I used wood from this old crate and traced all
the pieces of the old birdhouse...
I used the crate slats for the front and back...
Using a hole attachment for the drill, I cut out 2 holes...
The last slat I screwed on held the license plate roof which is removable in case the inside needs to be cleaned out...
I painted the whole birdhouse white...
And added a license plate for the roof...
Alaska?
These birds are going to think they took a wrong turn!
Some old scrap signage for the side...
I think it's still missing something...
Move that bus!!!!
That's better... a little junk!
Welcome home birdies... welcome home!
I love it! The license plate roof is just perfect. Those are going to be some lucky birds : o )
ReplyDeleteLove the grand reveal! Who knew a switchplate and old hinge could look so cool...
