Wayne Moore is a simple man. He has been building and painting birdhouses for more than 20 of his 73 years. “I just like to have something to do, something to keep me busy,” Moore said. He paints his birdhouses with several different school logos, including Western, the University of Tennessee, the University of Kentucky, and every once in a while, he paints one with a gator on it for Greenwood High School. Moore sells his creations at local yard sales, and sometimes right out of his front yard.

It occasionally takes more than one coat of paint. “If I paid more attention, I wouldn’t mess up so much,” More said. “But it’s OK, sometimes I just have to paint them a couple of times.”
