[“The first pair of bluebird houses on Gord’s farm”]
It was my second visit to Gord’s farm. I’d stopped in last week for the first time in order to photograph six birdhouses in his garden.
[“Can you do better than barnboard?”: photos GAH]
Within a few minutes of stopping he invited me onto his property, and when he learned I built birdhouses too he offered me an old spare.
[“Several boxes were lined up in the garden; one has a visitor”]
So, during my visit a couple of days ago, I gave him one of my models in exchange.
[“I gave Gord this GH model; the roof comes off easily”]
“I came out ahead on this deal,” he said.
[“Gord’s old spare will get new life somewhere - after I check it out”]
I think the trade was even. I was happy to get his old spare because I’ll use it as a model for a few of my own creations next week or the week after.
Right now I’d better get busy. I have six others ready to assemble, then they’ll need custom trim.

If you spot some interesting birdhouses, let me know.
I rescued more lumber recently and like to steal ideas!
