When I was babysitting last week our oldest granddaughter was going to finish her exam is Shop & she told me that she was making a little something for Papa & myself. I was quite surprised when she arrived home later that day with this lovely gift in tow. This weekend we have varnished it so that it can be left outdoors & we have found the perfect place for it too. She is in grade nine & we both thought that she did a wonderful job making this & using all the tools like a drill & skill saws & the like. I have dated it on the bottom as I have a few birdhouses on our property & this way we can date it 10 years from now. I have one from each of our kids so they are over 25 years old & still doing very well .........a new paint or varnish job but other then that & still doing very nicely.
