    This bird hotel is made from white cedar , it has 61 rooms and two roof top pools . It weighs about 500 pounds and will be mounted 9 ft in the air on a single post .

    Holy Moley! Masterpiece. What bird is it targeted for? The holes look smaller than typical Purple Martin size.

    The shot with the cars looks like a time-share brochure. Really disappointed it's for birds.

    Thanks for showing us this latest masterpiece! That's a nice place for "well heeled" birds to roost.

    I love your extreme birdhouses, John. I imagine the "Tower" room goes for a princely sum!

    Awesome as per your usual standard. I had been missing my EBH fix lately.

    Thanks again everyone ! I have been building them now for the last 11 years . I have to do a lot of repeats most of the time so I really look forward to these one off houses .
    Last month I had TV production company from L.A call me and they wanted me to do a full time weekly building show on my birdhouses for Discovery channel .They wanted my son also as a father son team . They wanted us to travel all over the states and build custom birdhouses for people , two houses per episode . It all sound great but I decline the offer .My son has his own roofing business as it is and as for me I mainly build them to help deal with chronic pain , fibromyalgia . It was nice of them to offer but realistically my body wouldn't be able to hold up .

    As always, fabulous work, John! Too bad about your health issue. I would pay you to build one on my back forty in a heart beat.
