By George I think I've got it...

Post by Brewbirds »

Today I've been working on redesigning a new nest for me and BB2; the old one took up to many branches and our new tree is much smaller. :lol:

I've got this one redrawn as a straight up rectangle to keep the costs down but still have the same rooms and sizes; still have the beer closet and bottle washing sink. :banana: :banana:

BB2 and I need to work on getting it scaled down to try and fit it on the copy of the plat we have and see how well it fits. I'm hoping for enough backyard space for a vegie garden.

Here is the lot, nice and level for building wheelchair accessible and tons of trees (what more could a bird want).

Now that I've got this just about finished up I can work on reading through that sea of red in the background and find out what all you crazies have been doing in my absence. :jumpy:

I had nine pages of backed up Borg and have got it down to six (I'm going from oldest to newest so I may truly never catch up :lol: ) but I can't bear to miss a single post; ghost thread alert. :D

:cheers:

I can almost see how nice and cozy the new nest will be.

Really glad to see you back, we missed you. Some of those old threads said "Where oh where are the BrewBirds?" Best of luck with the house.
