So BECAUSE of Sarah315, Tbitt and Dbitt need to rearrange the way we store things here.....

Tbitt wanted to take over the garden shed and turn it into a duck house.

So, to take over the garden shed we needed to turn the stand alone garage into the new garden shed along with housing all of my husband's garbage treasures.

Became this:

Then became this:

So that I (ducks) can have this:

South wall

North wall

We know we need plenty of air circulation and light....and this had to be predator proof....


We started by making a huge screen window on the West wall:

We then needed another huge screened area so we cut out the North wall
Before we cut:

We made that a "door" (hubby just loved my idea on this one :eek: >

Then we needed a window on that North wall
Framed out and cutting hole (blade at bottom)

Now to the South wall

This side also needs a window
Cutting out for the window

Now for the slider (pop) door (I need to get pictures of the inside)

AND we got the back window's "door" on:

Oh, I almost forgot... we put in Soffet vents on both the North and South sides:

Oh.... and the floor:

AND.............the reason for it all.............the ducklings.........

They found the food:

And they found the water:

All tucked in for the evening:
