I ordered a birdhouse in the fall of 2022. Fred told me if I paid him $495 by Nov. 1, I would have the birdhouse by Christmas. About 3 days before Christmas he wrote " you won't have your birdhouse by Christmas, hope that's ok". Shortly after that I filed a dispute with PayPal. Fred is crafty enough with his words that PayPal did nothing. I asked for pictures of the work in progress, Fred didn't have time. Then he claimed the birdhouse was in the dryer with other birdhouses, it would be several weeks. The birdhouse finally came and I was mortified. The birdhouse was to look like the bell tower at Chautauqua, NY. The bell tower is red brick, he painted the birdhouse a light beige. There are faint shadows of a brick pattern here and there. The proportions of the door and windows are a mess. There is a clock on the bell tower. Fred nailed on a watch face type item that was to look like a clock. It is about 1.25" high on a 2' birdhouse. It looks absolutely ridiculous. My recommendation to you, the consumer, if you want a poorly made birdhouse, loads of lies and absolutely NO time line, order from Fred. This was a TOTAL scam and waste of $495.
