Here is my submission for "Simple beginner bird house -
PEP BB dimensional.sand.birdhouse":
I am providing photos of the following:
- Wood you're starting with
- Bird house under construction
- Bird house installed in its final location
This one might win the prize for the ugliest bird house! I planned to follow the video, then realized the scrap wood I had scrounged from an outdoor pile near the
cob cottage was 1 by 4 instead of 1 by 6, so I did some "creative" things to make it bigger. The result is well ventilated and has good drainage, and those are the only positive claims that I can make for it
I hung it under the eaves of an outdoor kitchen/materials storage roof, rather than use oil on such weathered scrap wood and such an ugly house. The bird box roof fully covers the walls, however, so if it is ever moved to an unsheltered location it will still keep the rain off any bird desperate
enough to settle there.
