    I have a friend that is 82 and still works in his wood shop on good days. He cuts I paint. He showed up at my house last Sat. with a car load, and wants to know if I can do for Christmas. :smt119 I have this much done.

    Gosh you've worked hard to get all those done in just a few days!! Congratulations they are really lovely. :-D
    When you do have the time to paint the birdhouses how long will they take to complete? I would imagine they'd take ages - especially if I were painting them. They'd maybe be ready for Easter :rolleyes:

    A colorful undertaking. It is a pleasure to see the whirligigs on peoples lawns. Now I know that talented people like you spend a long time painting them so others may enjoy seeing them twirling away on a summer breeze.
