Re: Contractor Talk Birdhouse Building Contest Winner !
Wow! It looks like if it wasen't for Brian's over sight on his details, Mac and son, may have been DQed on the size requirement. It didn't look that big hanging in the tree.
Good job guys. Congratulations. D.

Re: Contractor Talk Birdhouse Building Contest Winner !
Nice. How many people did you have working on the thing
 . the true test though for all the bird houses is do they actually attract birds and can birds feed off them. I'd like to see you guys actually hang the feeders and get some pics of birds using them. Nice job everyone. Nick.

Re: Contractor Talk Birdhouse Building Contest Winner !Quote:
MW, after we built it, I did some research about birdhouses. Realistically, our birdhouse, as built, is not conducive to actual habitation. The platform in front of the opening gives larger predator birds a spot to stand while they peck in and try and eat the young. There has been local interest in it though, so I am going to redesign and work on selling some over the winter months. Mac |

Re: Contractor Talk Birdhouse Building Contest Winner !
I was hoping to see some in-progress shots of PrestigeR&D's birdhouse - do you have closeup pics of the details?
The pics you entered into the contest were small and kind of blurry....do you have larger pics? Feel like posting them here? I'm betting a lot of guys would be interested in the steps you took in building your birdhouse... Mac |
