My First Birdhouse

Have always been interested in building birdhouses. Every antique shop or junk store I go in I always look around for different and unusual birdhouses...for some reason, just always liked them.

Well, finally got some time on my hands, so I thought I would give it a try. Started out by going to local home store and just got some 8" pine lumber.

Got home and started on the design I wanted...Got through the basic house and looked at it and thought, anybody could build this. I wanted something different.

Found some rusted tin for a top and believe me, it is not easy to cut. After that, got out the saw and started making lines to look like old siding. and then out with the paint. White and black and a mixture of both.

I think my first birdhouse turned out fairly well. But most of all, it was fun to do.

I already have another that I will start with next week. But this time, it will be bigger and better.

Hope you enjoy

Jack
