and lastly!



the BIRDHOUSE also has a large center vent in the ceiling and a huge exhaust fan that runs for 5 mins 8 times a day to suck all the bird dander and dust out! as well as stale air!

I love all the photos! It is wonderful to see the progress step by step. It's not only functional but beautiful. I just love those french doors. :D
