Building a Birdhouse

I’ve wanted a birdhouse since we moved into this house back in 2008. We have a friend who builds the most amazing, beautiful birdhouses who was going to make me one but he passed away so I never got the 1 birdhouse that I really wanted. Long story short, Bo arrived home the other night with this……………….

I laughed out loud. A lot. He brought home a big board, a box of screws, sandpaper and some sort of drill bit thing to drill the hole for the birds to enter. He was so proud of himself and excited to build a birdhouse with me. I thought he had lost his mind and laughed hysterically. When I talked recently about building a birdhouse, I had planned to go spend $9.99 at Walmart in the kids craft section and buy a birdhouse kit made for kids, one that my niece recently received and I wanted! Hahaha. But I quickly got on board and figured this could be a great project for Bo and I to complete together so I started “google’ing” plans to build a birdhouse with the piece of wood we had. We got a basic idea of layout we figured was easy to try and Bo drew up his own plans and got to cutting. Yes, he used the bed of the truck as his worktable.

I really wanted to participate too since this was ‘my’ birdhouse and our project. I got to drill the hole for the birds to enter the house!

So after 2 days of work, we have a birdhouse! Bo of course did most of the work, I stained a little bit of it, drilled the hold for the birds to go in and out and screwed in most of the screws so I could feel like I did something. The twig we used for the perch is one from our butterfly bush out back that Bo’s mom bought me a few years ago, I thought it would be neat to include part of that in the house and we cut off the perfect size perch just for the birdhouse. It’s now screwed onto the fence post just outside the back door nestled nicely in a tree that birds frequent so I’m really hoping they will take up residence soon in their new home!

I love how it turned out! It’s not what I had in mind, I didn’t think we would be able to actually create it (always the optimist I am) but I love it and I’m so excited! It’s perfect!

  1. I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.

  4. Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?

  5. Okay, so phfunn is… alright. Nothing that really blew me away, but there are definitely worse places to play. Games are standard, payouts are okay. Just needs a little something to make it stand out, you know?

  6. So, I was checkin’ out 16betbr1 the other day, and it’s got that certain…something. Not the flashiest, but gets the job done. Good for a casual punt, maybe. Give it a looksee yourself at 16betbr1.

  7. I’m curious about the crafting mechanics – are there any hidden recipes beyond the basic ones shown in the tutorial? The system seems deep but I keep hitting a wall after tier 3 items. Any pros willing to share tips?

  8. As someone who’s been playing since the alpha, this latest patch fixed the inventory glitch that was driving me nuts. The devs are definitely listening to feedback. Solid update overall, though the PvP zone still feels a bit sus with spawn camping.

  9. OMG, this game is an absolute banger! The Sprunki music slaps so hard, I’ve been vibing to it for hours while dodging those sneaky worms. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a good time.

  10. Heard about tr888? I checked it out and it’s got a cool interface. Seems reliable so far. If you’re looking for something fresh, take a look at tr888.
