This squirrel condo has a small interior platform used to gain access between the main house on top and the large nest box at the bottom.  The front door hole and the hole to the nest box are on opposite sides of the interior to assure no predators (cats especially) can have access.  The condo is constructed entirely out of cedar and jointed (no nails or screws were used).  The gallery rail around the porch turned out to be the most difficult because of the problems a novice turner like myself had with cracking, splitting, and tearout.
