Shannon,

You are very welcome! I hope your husband feels better soon. Maybe in the spring you can put an ad up to sell a few of the birdhouses.

Wren and bluebird houses would be delightful. I'm not sure but I think individuals can also sell on Amazon.
Post some pics in the classified section here and see what happens.

I would be interested in a build-your-own deal. I think that is a GREAT idea to save on postage. IDK how challenging of a project that would make for your husband to do cut outs and drilling but it still would be his design. Would they be pretty much plain? Aside from birdhouses for my local birds to use, I would love to set up a bird house "city", you know, a church, a store, a schoolhouse designed birdhouse etc.

Cheryl I love the build your own idea also. I was thinking of maybe painting some of the roofs. But not the houses
as we really want to use cedar so they last.

There is a guy who sells bird and bat houses at the farmer's market where I have a booth. He also sells squirrel feeders and he makes a killing. The prices start at about 40$ and he probably sells 5 or 6 every time he comes.

Those bird houses do look nice and well-made. What is the wood used?

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

Thank you Paul is very particular . They are cedar with brass screws I wanted colored roofs so they would look a little different for the birds
