An Extreme Make-Over... Birdhouse Edition
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, and fast!
In an attempt to save it, I took it apart.
I used wood from an 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 hope you enjoyed this project and you'll take a look at my Amazon Shop for craft supplies I recommend. Also while you're here please sign up for the Homeroad emails on my sidebar so I can send my latest DIY post straight to you.
I love it! The license plate roof is just perfect. Those are going to be some lucky birds : o )
