This review is from: Making Backyard Birdhouses: Attracting, Feeding & Housing Your Favorite Birds (Paperback)

I build bird feeders/houses for people and in most cases I use the material list to purchase and construct the items. The Peggy's Cove Feeder is totally out to lunch, the bill of materials and the diagrams of instruction do not match. In this day of high price lumber costs, it is important for these things to be precise so as not to waste materials. For this reason I strongly advise anyone building any thing from this book to check the diagrams with the material list and insure that their measurements are the same. I therefore give this book a 3*** rating.
