I still think he is building these huge, extravagant, roomy birdhouses to feed those 20 something cats.

Once again, very impressive - question:
Do you know how much they end up weighing and how many people does it take to move them around? That's gotta be a project in itself!
It's amazing how much like that building photo it looks! YDM!

John,
Your birdhouses are just the most amazing ones I've ever seen. I've spent lots of time looking at them, but like boxer, I'm usually speechless when I get done. Just wanted to say I was talking about your birdhouses over the weekend and wanted to compliment you on them.

CATS, I thought those were your building inspectors and it looks like they approve of your Beautiful creations.

Nice job

Cats are checking out the new dinner spot and the best spot to hide out for a good take out snack.
Now I see why you make so many birdhouses, it's to feed the live stock.

KFC will open soon kitty kitty kitty...
All kidding aside ,NICE job John

Thanks NEAT John, crack me up hahahahahaha
The black cat is looking for dinner... hahahahahaha

I did show this to my grand kids and now they want one , forget that, I don't have the drive like you to make a birdhouse that every bird in Aspen could live in at one time..I like the paint job

it looks like a CAT house,get it.

Plus the detail on the porch post,I'm sure the birds will like it also.

All kidding aside NICE JOB

John
