Birdhouse craftsman Fred Jakubiec made it through 25 years of jobs as a supervisor at a fast food joint, a worker at a steel mill, and a driver for FedEx before he found that he was much, much happier making birdhouses out of wood and found materials for the chickadees, cardinals and finches surrounding his Connecticut home.

Fred now builds and sells birdhouses full-time with his partner Lynn, and he cites the nature walks he takes with her in a nearby reservoir as a direct inspiration for his work. It seems that Fred has found happiness in a serene, peaceful lifestyle that all can learn from:

Everybody says, I wanna do what you’re doing when I’m your age…what a life, making birdhouses.
