My husband’s boss has been building bird houses during his self-quarantining time. He was looking for something creative to do while stuck inside his house. I guess he’s built a bunch of them for family and friends. Well, he built us one!
He dropped it off yesterday and he said that installation was included with the gift:
Look at that bird house!! I love all the little shingles! And thank goodness he showed up with all the tools to install the house, because if we left it to my husband to hang, it would be collecting dust inside our house. I still have pictures that need to be hung after 12 years…my husband does not like to hang anything! He says he doesn’t like to put holes in the walls. I think he just doesn’t want to hang things.
Here’s another photo of our new bird house overlooking my garden:
It’s absolutely perfect there! I love it! Now I wonder when we’ll get new tenants. Those house finches are going to be so jealous when they see this! Maybe they wouldn’t have taken off and left their nest if they could have built it in an actual bird house. I can’t wait to see what happens! Will the neighborhood birds fight over who gets to move in? How do they even know it’s meant for birds?? Oh, I’m looking forward to all the excitement!
