An excellent point.

I clean out and leave my birdhouses up all winter for just that reason. I have downy woodpeckers that love to roost and remodel a bit during the winter.

It’s a real treat to go out my back door early in the morning and see a little head looking back at me from my bluebird box.

Thanks for stopping by and helping us out.

Clean your birdhouses too.

Critters may have used it since birds left it in the summer. So good to clean and get ready for coming winter.

Birds will often use as shelter from wind and rain during those difficult winter months

I totally agree that the dreading takes up much more time than the actual task. I make sure I know what I’m going to do each day before I sit down and get to it. Being self-employed makes it imperative not to let things just build up and go undone. Steady but consistent is the way to go.

one at a time. if you are like me you like to procrastinate with every big or small project. a couple of suggestions.. just start. ive found that it takes me more time to decide if im going to work on my project than the actual project takes to complete. the other suggestion is decide to do one thing before lunch and then another after lunch. then you will realize you have more time and get them both done before lunch and have more time to watch college football since it is in season in the fall:) good post
