Andy's idea was to do a 'Do-It-Yourself' project without buying anything.
The beehive we worked on would have qualified but I had to buy some screws and I'll have to get a few more things.
So, I used some scrap wood that I had already brought home from work and worked on a bird house. I make it nice & tight with some caulk and used some old paint and gave it coat. Overall it's not great but I did the best I could without buying or borrowing anything. Hmmm. I guess that's what birds do.... They build a DIY house without buying anything.
(I've gotten really spoiled at work with the nice saws and nail guns.)
The weather should be nice so we'll be hanging it up to provide a home for the recently returning migratory birds. I saw the first robins on Feb. 28th, the same day I started our spring plantings in the cold frames. We already have several things germinating!!!
Anyway, thanks Andy for suggesting a productive evening.
