Hi everyone , This is my latest Extreme Birdhouse .This bird mansion is made from 90 year old reclaimed barn wood ( hemlock )
It is 6 ft wide 45” high ,54” deep and has 30 rooms . The house weighs about 400 lbs . It has a screen in porch , gas fireplace and 2 bay windows . The base is made from 2 1/4” thick hemlock . It will be mounted 8 ft in the air on a single post . This one took me about a month to build .
