Next stop: Assemble six windows and doors, nail each in place, paint ‘Welcome’ over each of the doors, make an authentic-looking address plaque (featuring names of real streets found in St. John’s, NFLD) for the empty space at the top of each birdhouse face.
E.g., Newfoundland Drive, Water Street, Flower Hill Road.

So, now you know what I do on rainy days, like today.

Hi Gord: Bought a coffee table book of the Atlantic Provinces at the Sally Anne and have started reading it..saw houses very much like you are making into birdhouses..great idea for a series of birdhouses..If I see any interesting street names will let you know..must be a popular set of bird houses if you've sold one already..keep plugging along love L.Dee p.s. did Pat read the blog I wrote about her yet?
April is a good month to display birdhouses. More people are aware of birds in their yard, neighbourhood, etc., and some like my emphasis on 'rescued lumber'.
A fellow with a long drive way at his cottage up north bought a set of six because they look cheerful. Wait 'til he gets the bill, I say!
Pat did read the blog, but only recently, 'cause I forgot to tell her about it! My fault. maybe she left a comment. (?)
Cheers,
Gord
