Hi, Dave, nice projects! The squirrels (and roof rats) around here would love that "lighthouse condo".

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I notice you relocated the power switch on your Greenie- any particular reason?

Great job!

I have admired that light house plan more than once, but in this neck of the woods, not too much demand for it. The planter /mail box is neat also.

Amazing what one can make with a Shopsmith.

Well John, you could build the light house. Put it out in the yard and see how well it keeps ships from running aground into your house.

Dave,

More compliments from here! Also I recall you said you work in HVAC. You must be a very conscientious worker. [I had to fix my house's blower fan all of a sudden late last night. It looked like the last house owner tried to put oil in the fan-retaining screw, and no oil in the bearings! Not good....]
Keep up the good work!

When this happens, I doubt that you really have "professionals" working for you. The real professional does not do shoddy work]masquerade as professionals[/U] on the other hand might.
