New use for old trestle

that looks really lovely!!! i especially like that little house

Yes I think so J. If there is enough left, otherwise, Ill do a mix up with whats in the garage, but it will be bluey/greeney.
Sticki that little house is a little nest box for the birdies. I got it in the new year GC sale for half price.

very posh nest boxes round your way poppylover!!! must be in the exclusive housing market!!!! its lovely

there is a lady near here that makes lots of quilts ~ but very arty type not the traditional, she is really good and a very nice lady. in her garden she has a row of bird boxes, she asked her family to send her one each for christmas one year, they look really effective!

That's lovely - will make a stunning feature once you have put the finishing touches too it :)

Good bit of recycling there!!

I like this , as well as paint it would look very nice wood stained and easier to do?

Thanks everyone for your encouraging comments. My OH had phoned the council to ask them to collect it. I then had to ask him to phone again and cancel!! I like the idea of the multiple bird boxes Sticki. I saw someone had made one as a replica of the Taj Mahal in a magazine recently! really wacky.

it was nice because not only did they look attractive but i should imagine its a bit like a street and you could watch and be saying something like ~ oh look today mr and mrs robin have moved into number 7 etc!!! but you would also be remembering which person gave which ~ they were all different.

Yes now youve got me thinking - where can I do that! lol

Sounds great Sticki, now youve got me wondering - where can I put my little terrace of birdie houses and what should the 'street' be called? Robin Row??

or Blue Tit Terrace???

I quite like Blue Tit Terrace - dont forget the bottle of milk though

lulu has a mosaic that would fit perfectly with it!!!

Looks great, clever you, I like the idea of a terrace too:-)

Bluetit terrace it will be! Thanks all for your suggestions.

:-) will look forward to a photo!!!! if i ever get a chance i will try to get a picture of the bird houses on the fence near here ~ but they are not visible from the road! have to wait till the lady has an open day again!!

If I was a mouse, I'd live in that house, Lol.

I think it should be squirrel Street PL, Lol.

Ill look forward to that Sticki.
Psst Willi, dont talk about the squirrels!

Hi poppylover99 When I had 5 old nest boxes I joined them together in a staggered run. I made a Terrace Des- Res for Sparrows . I counted 42 Sparrows old /young in the block.

Sparrows are in the decline, they need our help!.

Im going to wait until the january sales to look out for some more bird boxes to do a little bird terrace Sunne. I did the RSPB bird watch earlier this year in my garden. I didnt see a single sparrow :-( We get lots of blue tits though:-))

a lady who lives near here asked her family for bird boxes for christmas so everyone gave her a different little bird box, she put them all up in a row on the top of the fence, they got a couple of blue tit families but the bird boxes looked great!
