    Front of house (look at middle roof, amount of windows, etc)

    Update - 2024 Here was the "negotiation" email that didn't include anything on the details or the brick comment from owner posted below- Hi Jon, Thanks so much for the email. The house is amazing. This will make a really nice sentimental gift or your Mom. I'm sure there are a ton of memories in this home. The price would be $595. Let me know if you have any questions or if you would like to proceed. After this I basically was told to pay via PayPal. Nothing about a discontinued model. Sounds like the owner is great at not holding himself accountable for anything.

    My grandmother's house was a very special place for my family and considered a second home. From holidays to a safe haven, it hold a place of wam memories for all of us. I thought having a birdhouse made of the home we all loved so much would be a wonderful and sentimental gift for my mom. It took a lot longer to receive than I anticipated but when I received it I was so impressed how Fred captured the house beautifully and so intricately.

    My birdhouse arrived at the end of May. It's very nice, well built and birdmirrors my own somewhat odd shaped real house. So in the end, it worked out.

    Fred Heartley of The Birdhouse Barn specializes in birdhouses that match your home. I asked, instead of a birdhouse, whether he could modify the design to function as a Little Free Library that matched my home. He said yes and I was thrilled! I'm not usually a compulsive person. I'm usually very thorough and, quite frankly, exhaustive in my research. I pore over any and every review I can find. I comparison shop. I mull things over for a while. But, with this project, I was so excited that I plowed straight into it and, as a result, made two huge errors that I don't typically make. First, I proceeded without checking reviews. Second, I paid for the library up front and in full (which I should never have done -- I know it's an incredibly stupid move, no matter what). It wasn't until after my payment was made that I saw Fred's reviews. To say they were less-than-flattering is an understatement. I panicked! There was no backing out. There was no chance of getting my money back. So I moved forward. I stayed in close contact with Fred -- we were in touch every few days. We talked through every aspect. We laid out a production timeline, expectations, exact specifications and each type of material that would be used, down to the exact brand and color of paint on my home. True to his word, Fred provided regular updates for me. He allowed me to make changes and upgrades along the way. He went above and beyond on little touches -- like finding a door that matched my front door perfectly. He was kind and courteous and professional. He told me which of my requests he could accommodate and which he could not and why. My Little Free Library shipped right when he promised it would ship. It was well packaged and arrived without damage or delay. There are a few things I wish had been different -- the bookshelves should have probably been taller to accommodate taller books on both the top and the bottom. The shelf could have used an extra coat of paint. And, for structural reasons, I never did get the lighting in the windows that I wanted ... But, in the end, I'm thrilled to report that I am very happy with how it turned out. My friend and I added some extra touches -- like the windows and the metal garage door, painted and etched to replicate the real thing. We even put it on a swivel so people could more easily access the books in the back. I love it and will always be grateful to Fred for being a part of the story of The Monroe Family's Purple Blossom Little Free Library!

    Nice work Fred. I ordered a beautiful birdhouse. I added some little craft shingles to the roof because I will be keeping this indoors. It is a replica of my grandparents' home and I want it for my Train set at Christmas time.

    Update: I did finally receive my birdhouse, 19 months after I ordered it. It is very poor quality and and was not worth near the $800 I paid, in my opinion. Will include pictures.

    Don't waist your money on a custom birdhouse. Paid $700+ for custom birdhouse of my daughter's home. About $500 too much....
