Tried desperately to attract some PM's when I resided in West Grove, PA. But no luck! They were there just did not want the tower house we set up.

Eventually I gave up and removed the reduction plates and before I could say "spit" another species moved right on in.

Hi Garrett and thanks for your reply . I have all kinds of bats around my house and sometimes inside my house .
I have built a few bats houses but they were typical bat houses . A extreme bat house would look nice . I,ll have to give it some thought .

Re: Extreme Birdhouses And More From Recycled Wood (pics)

As always, very pretty work.

But make up your mind.
Is it a bird house,
or a "cat house"?

wow, those are pretty intense for bird houses. I've been thinking of doing something with my scraps, and turning an extra profit also.
