Ooops. Long time with no posts!
Graydon had been asking about making a birdhouse for ages, so we gave it a go. Click images for full size.
We started with the hand saw, but used the power miter saw later for our 45 degree cuts.
I had some stainless exterior screws left over from a [Gaines] project, so we screwed the roof on instead of nailing to make cleaning out the house easier.
This was a super easy project. The cedar fence plank was about $2.50, a small pack of stainless wire nails was another $1.50.
The inspiration was a [Ana White] post, with some technical details on the hole size and placement from [wild-bird-watching.com]. We went with a chickadee size hole and Graydon looks like a happy builder.
