I was contacted a few months ago from this place to build a feature birdhouse for a up coming show in March 2019 . In exchange they want to feature me there and promote the crap out of my work .No cost to me 🙂

I like both the Hardie and LP siding products. What do you have on the rest of the house?

Most of my house is old yellow brick .

roninohio wrote:Nice job @cranbrook2 . What will you use for siding?
You should stay nice and warm this winter.

I am still trying to decide what to do with the exterior walls , im not a big fan of vinyl siding .

Now that winter is coming I am back to work on my addition .I just finished replacing the last exterior wall from 2×3 to 2×6 . I am also finally getting a new furnace installed in my house this coming week .

I have one of them tile saws and I love it ! My son uses it often to do work on his house and his wifes family and he says it is the best saw he has used so far . Very easy to use and almost no mess at all .Also very easy to clean up afterwards . No issues whatsoever ! Well worth investing in .

I was equally shocked to see the pictures when the owner sent them to me .He did a great job on the stand and mounting the house .

Here are a few pictures from yesterday .One up one to go !

Just finished up these houses and going to take a few days off until the next batch of houses 🙂

Thanks guys , one of them is going in my yard and the other one is about 45 minutes away so no worries about shipping this time . I have to paint one of them red so I probably will do them both the same . Ill takes some pics when I put mine up .
