They do tend to get a bit testy and wordy over there, don't they. But I love what she has. I hope she keeps it true to its genre.

This really shouldn't be on garden junk, but on the convesation side

You are right, Nona. I just wish the site allowed the original poster to move things when there is a mistake. (I know I've posted on the wrong side plenty of times, and once you hit that submit button, it's too late to change it.)

Hey thats my house! LOL I followed the advice of one of the posters and went over to that home site and they photoshopped myh house in all different colors. It is a great thread and they are so friendly! Well someone had also suggested I post to this thread for some ideas. Well since I was digging through your threads and found my own house can you help me? I have all these birdhouses I brought from Micheals unpainted. I had painted them and now that I have a home I want to put them in my yard. I just noticed that there is nothing on them to hang them. I would like to get some posts and mount them and also attach some to trees. How do you guys mount your birdhouses or are they not considered junk? LOL
thanks

Hi, You're a lucky dog!! Your property is great. It looks like a paradise for a garden junker to live in.

You may want to check out the Links to Member's Photo Albums here on GJ for birdhouse ideas. Search for birdhouses here and on Google images. Start a new post here asking for birdhouse photos and ideas.

Any birdhouse that is the type Michaels sells should have a better roof before being out in the weather, as they tend to waste away quickly outside. You can use metal flashing, metal from any type of food or beverage cans, roof shingles or anything waterproof. Just attach right on top of the existing roof. The bigger the roof, the better, so making the metal or shingles overhang beyond the roof edge is better protection from the weather.

Here are a couple of birdhouses, and one sign I made. DS made a rural mailbox stand. The birdhouses are just screwed on to it. The sign has a plumbing type chain attached for hanging. The birdhouse with the yellow bird has a chain hanger. You can see that a hole is drilled through the roof just large enough for the chain to pass through. The chain ends are then screwed into the side of the birdhouse, right under the roof. The birdhouse made from a Burro sawhorse has a bicycle gear attached for hanging. There's a link at the bottom to more of my birdhouses. Hope that helps. Linda

OMG how cute!! Well I have to do some more work on my birdhouses as they do not look nearly as good as these. I am not that good at aging and I see that makes a difference. mines are painted "perfectly" LOL I was gonna use my old license plates. LOL I thought I had an original idea.
Thanks for the pictures and search ideas. I try to search on these forums and have no luck so the google search should work.

They are great! I love bird houses, but every time I put one out, it turns into a wasps nest.

get some guinea hens. LOL
