Birdhouses...

            Here it is Spring again and once again I am finding things to do getting ready to play in the yard...

            A few weeks ago Joe and I went to the Home and Garden Show in Minneapolis...we saw some birdhouses on a stake and decided we could make them cheaper...they were asking $29.99 each for them...

             I bought a couple of ready made cheap birdhouses from Gordmans

                     Joe bought a couple of wood spindles and some metal poles
   
            Joe has drilled holes in the bottom of the birdhouses taking care not to make the holes too big and he drilled holes in the bottom of the spindles to put in the metal pole which will go into the ground...I painted the spindles white...the birdhouses were glued to the top of the spindles...the metal poles put into the bottom of the spindles...

                                                         the finished product

                        one birdhouse put into my back corner wild flower garden

 I think we made two of these for the price of one at the Home and Garden show

with a bit of luck the birds will make themselves at home like this one did last
