    No, no signs of interest in the Arbor bird box yet, Catz, but I only built it in June so there's time for the next Early Spring. I've got a lot of birds in the garden so there's a good chance of being able to sit in the Arbor with a mug of tea/glass of wine listening to the chicks twittering above my head.:D:thumbsup:

      Cool, I like it
      But 2x2 roof tiles
      (psst the cold war has been over for a while)
      No bombs, but sitting under half a ton of wood OMG

      Still with a few Pina Colada's you will not feel anything :-)

        :heehee::heehee::thud:Jack. The thing was I was making it out of what I had in the Workshop/garage, so I used 2" x 2" for the roof frame and struts. I didn't have any lats or similar but I did have plenty of 2"x 2" so I went with what I had!! The roof without the tiles weighed a "ton" believe me.:D There's no chance of it falling down as it's all screwed and bracketed as solid as a rock. That's the other thing about it apart from it being easy to build.

        Pina Coladas here we come.:cheers: I can see Ziggy swinging off the roof now:D:heehee::yess:
