Another project from my to-do list completed. I again got some help from my daughter while building and painting it. And I hope that we can observe some birds together this winter from our living room.

The construction is simple, two sides a floor and a roof on top. After I’ve built it I recognized that I should have done something different, for example, the part where the food resides should be smaller to prohibit the birds from sitting in it and pooping on the menu - ok maybe for the next one :-)

Painting took the most time in this project, as you regularly need to wait for it to dry. After painting it, I sprayed it with a clear coat to seal it.
