Twinplex For Rent

A Weekend Project

Armed with a vision...

(sometimes a dangerous thing)

we set out preparing the firm foundation.

Then turned our attention

to that which inspired it all.

Yep.

That's a mailbox.

An old, rusty mailbox that James

found while scrapping.

Beautiful!

I shared my vision with

my wonderfully patient husband

who in turn introduced me to

all the necessary tools

to make it happen.

A 1-inch drill bit

for the door.

And then a smaller something-nth drill bit for the perch. Giving the whole project

a punk art vibe.

Our little bird oasis

is under way.

Come one...

come all.

We have thistle for the finch

sunflower seeds for the jays...the nuthatch...

the cardinals...

and the little sparrows.

All our welcome!

Even the squirrels.

And if they are compelled to stay...

We have the accommodations.

What you can't see

(because I forgot to take THAT picture)

is the wooden house divider

inside.

The amenities include:

A door on opposite ends

each with their

own perch...

and a large spacious room

to nest in.

Zoey approved of our work.

She liked it so much

she wanted to lay

by her new

toy.

All day.

Now I am getting word out

that we are ready for renters.

The price is right...

for a lovely song

you will get free food...water...

and a guard dog.

A work in progress.

Tell all your feathered friends the news!
