There are some fun and creative birdhouses in here but the finishing on many of them is really rough! Like, the birdhouse on the cover looks so cute but if you look closely you see the logs that make up the roof aren't even and then wonder why there isn't a single log that acts as a kind of roof ridge? Little changes that could make a much more successful-looking house! Some pieces I doubt the durability of at the start (Swimming Pool Feeder). But there were a lot of variety in here. Step-by-step directions seemed clear and there are lots of photos to accompany them.
