About this cache: Looking for a new cottage or home?  This is the place to visit. 

You are looking for a birdhouse of many colors. There are over 700 "Legos" in the cache.  You are going to need a little math to find the combination of the lock.  Bring a pencil, and bring a friend if you are color blind!  

The first number is the number of brown blocks

The second number is the first two digits of the address, added together

The third number is the last two digits of the address, added together, minus 1

The fourth number is the second number of the address 

Note: Once the correct combination is entered, you must first push – HARD – the hasp into the lock then pull – again HARD – to open the lock.
