Thank all of you for your kind thoughts. It was fun to build.
The chimney serves both homes. If the kids don't behave, mom can boil them and eat from the little table outside. There's a table for each home. Tables came from the hole saw from entry doors and conduit holes. Everything is cedar. I'll have to take it down if a hurricane comes this way.

this is really great work and I will have to make sure the birds in my neighborhood do not see this thread because I can't build anything like that! Super impressed!

I love the fact that they have the little table to dine alfresco. Very well done. I dig the rough sawn siding mixed with the red trim. Add to that the "Deco era" angular support pillars for the porch roof and this is a winning design. Lucky birds.

This is going to make some little birdies very happy indeed :)

Thank you sir.
