All of the rooms are divided up .I build the shell first then add the insides after .All of the insides are removable for cleaning .
This is my largest house so far . It is 9 ft x 9 ft and has 103 rooms .Total height is 18 ft .

I make the insides out of 3/16" plywood .

Thanks Del ! I still have a bit of space :laughing:
The owner of this birdhouse just sent me a message yesterday along with a few pictures .
Here is what he sent
John:
We got the birdhouse home without any problems.
The next day, Monday; I started looking for a forklift to hire. Well, there are not many of those four wheel drive lift trucks around that people know of, but as I was driving along the industrial area, saw one sitting at a welding place. Went in and asked the girl if they hire it and the driver out, she put me on the phone with the owner and we agreed on Thursday morning. I had to pay for a tow company flat bed truck to bring it to my house and Paul the owner of the lift came and he picked the birdhouse up in front of my house, drove it down the street to the park entrance and into the park to where my trees are. Had it on top of the trees perfect in about 10 minutes. It took me about 4 hours to have the top of tree trunks perfectly level with a chain saw though. Had to cut in where the braces where as well. After all the engineering of the tree and the measurements of the birdhouse, it fit like a glove. Instead of fence posts as braces for the birdhouse, I used aircraft wire and adjusters. Screwed in eyehooks into the tree and drilled holes for eyehooks through the base of the birdhouse. Worked great and from a short distance you only see the trunks of the tree and the birdhouse on top of it. We took lots of pictures and I will send you some real soon. Looks really great on the trunks and the people in the park are totally amased at what they see. Thanks for a great job and I will send you pictures.
