DIY nesting boxes

[10 point]

First you will need
a large drill bitt, 3 screws, a drill, a saw, a five gallon bucket, and some wood.

next you will need to cut your wood to fight the bucket you want it to cover 1/3 of the opening of the bucket.

then you will screw the bucket down to the board.

next you need to cut the remaining screw off with a saw. I used a saws all with a metal blade)

then you will need to drill holes with the drill and drill bit for ventilation.

and the finished product

Nice job! How did you come up with the idea? That's cool!

I just use milk crates and covered cat litter boxes.

I had all the supplies so I just made it.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD WAS TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM BUYING $50 DOLLAR NEST BOXES.

it drives me insane when someone even thinks about droping more than 10 buck on nesting boxes. so I thought I would do my best to help others make as cheap a nesting box as possible.

I agree about $50 boxes. Can you say free is soooo much better?
