Re: Tomorrow is the big Building day!
How are you going to do the water and seed dispensers? I ask because when I built mine, this was my biggest issue.

Re: Tomorrow is the big Building day!
The food is going to be served in metal cups that hang on the inside of the two smaller doors... Ill post pictures when it is up. And the water wil be served in bottles like this, attached to the net near a perch.managermania wrote:How are you going to do the water and seed dispensers?

Re: Tomorrow is the big Building day!
Its so big now, that it is hard to take a good photo from where it is standing, but the roof is on and two of the three door... I have also started to paint the structure, so it will be dry, when the mesh comes on...

Re: Tomorrow is the big Building day!
Wow, I could never even do anything near that. Beautiful work!!!! I can't wait to see how it looks with all the birds in. My goodness, there are so many skilled, talented, and gifted people on this forum! Great work.



God is my redeemer and it is through Him I have found eternal happiness. I am grateful, I am blessed, and I am truly loved. I wish all this and more for all members of our finch forum family. May you all be blessed and highly favored.
