    I’ve never been a fan of birdhouses. Why welcome something to your yard that really wants to poo on your head?

    Yet, inspiration works in weird ways. While visiting Maine in February I saw an enormous birdhouse that looked like a jointer plane hanging outside Liberty Tool, an ironmonger. I just had to have one to hang above my shop door.
