Final Touches

04/02/11

SAE Time: 3 hours

After the frame was assembled, I gathered all the twigs and branches to cover the birdhouse. I used a hot glue gun to glue the twigs on, starting with the thicker branches. I had some smaller branches leftover, so I used them to fill in the blank spots. It was a lot of fun, yet very tedious since I had a lot of branches to go through. I was able to successfully get it done after 3 long hours.

Now I have a birdhouse that I'll be able to hang up this spring. Hope birds will come and lay their eggs so they can call it their home.

Insulation and assembly

03/12/11

SAE Time: 2 hours

A 1 and 1/2" hole was cut out for the bird's entrance. I gathered the materials to insulate the house.

To prevent the birdhouse from getting wet, I covered the whole house by using a plastic vegetable container and a roll of shipping tape. With the container, I cut it in half and put the two halves inside the house. Afterwards, I covered the entire house with the tape.

Once the parts were fully covered in tape, I assembled the frames.
