Room for rent

We recently completed a second home at our home, but this one is for the birds. It is made from a kit that snapped together (a bit more difficult than the packaging claimed, but still pretty simple) and included some bright paints for inspiration. Miles and I tackled the assembly and he decided the paint colors.

When we first removed all the pieces, his look said it all: How is this thing really going together?

There were no instructions, so I figured it couldn’t be that hard, right? He set to work lining up the roof and the sides, and slipping them into place.


After a while, we needed a break for a drink…

…then he set to work painting some roof tiles…

…and the peak of the roof. We added some duct tape here because the seal was not tight and Miles was worried that any birds inside might get wet.

The finished bird house is hanging near the driveway and has dryer lint inside to keep any residents warm and snug.
