So as u can see this will work to house one or two birds for the winter just make sure u have the right size fees n water cups. Cups small enough so the bird will drink all the water before the end of the day so no frozen water and feed cup big enough to hold the proper amount of feed

So here goes lol I’m starting a different project to replace the small 3x3’s and this is what I came up with. 4x4s and 6’ tall. Still designing as I go so I’ll keep u posted. Braces cut on 45 degree angles longest point is 12”. Going to be metal roof. And this is going to cost nothing bc I reusing things that I have. Also I am taking down the old pheasant coop. Which I will get a lot of wood from and I’m giving the net to Mom. See yah guys in a bit. Goal for this month get YouTube thing going and website moving along again.

Spangled butchers

This is how far I got so far on the coop it’s 4x16 and 6’ high. Designing as u go can get complicated but after this one then it should be easy to do several more. Ben cleaning all the dirty bowls and such that was laying around I guess we should be getting snow soon. See u soon

Well got some done still a lot of thought on how I wanna build the rest. I am looking at all the designs still working and designing as I go. Had to stop bc it got dark. And by the way cutting that metal was easy with the right tool however a lot of metal flakes even wearing eye gear I was still a bit nervous. Wanting this thing to be done tomorrow lol we’ll see how that goes.

Lol edited to add I put the metal on backwards. So tomorrow’s job is switching it. Today I tell yah.
