Very pretty! I love the fairy tale look, but didn't the Hobbits build their houses underground? I'll confess I never got more than halfway through the first book, but I have seen all the movies...I couldn't figure out how to post our new duck house and wanted to share the pics! We have 6 runners.
The pool with repurposed shower deck I made for burning man! In the background you can see the feeder and automatic waterer! I really am enjoying this...I just drain the waterer at night and turn the water hose off, the feeder just replace the cap and sweep up loose feed.
I was going to try and make the front of the house look like a real hobbit house, you can see the little door I made in the first picture. After looking at it I decided I liked the front without the door. I'll find another use for the hobbit door I made.
Just trying to fancy up the vent holes. There are 3 more directly across on the other wall and under the side eaves.
These act as "locks" and secures the removable wall. We live in a high corrosive area, so we tried to limit metal parts as much as possible! All from cedar - they have been outside for several months and work perfectly - no swelling.
Removable wall for cleaning - all parts are cedar to cut back on the weight. I'd say it wears about 9 or 10 lbs.
Entry, with a view of the side vents. I painted the floor and walls with BlackJack #57...so far so good as far as moisture. I should be able to hose the house out, or at least be able to wet it down pretty good with out causing damage to the wood, I also put a large tray inside to help collect waste, it came from my escape, getting a new car so I repurposed it to the ducks.
With the door closed.
We are using shredded paper and cedar chips for the inside. I remove paper and wet chips every morning. I used shredded paper in their brooder and decided it worked well in the house. Thank for looking! I've learned so much from this group!!!
