[DucksOhio]

Hey everyone just looking for segestions for my new duck house

Its 8x8 with 8 foot walls,

Mostly iam wondering about flooring and ventilation

Iam thinking of making the front lift all wire like this

And a 2 foot ish wire window on the back and sides, All with shutters you can close


Plus i got 2 nice exhaust fans, But i might not have to use em.

And what about the floor? Right now its 1inch rough sawn lumber, They used that for flooring for 800 years but what do you put down?

Iam ordering a steel roof tuesdayView attachment 1745241 View attachment 1745242 View attachment 1745242 View attachment 1745243

AWESOME job!

Looks really great!

I would say linoleum is best bet. But I made the mistake of using the press-on individual tiles - a lot of them came off. I think sheet linoleum is the way to go.

Jealous about the metal roof.

Okay so ducks official live in my duck house now! Oh boy the hours of labour in this. And its about 85% finished.

Still needs screens in the windows
Needs a better duck ramp
Needs wiring conduit and lights
The batton boards (waiting till its cold out again, leaving the gaps for the hot summer)
I need to save up for a good solid fence

When we lived in Destin, Florida people just put stuff they didn't want by the side of the road in front of their house all the time and it was gone in no time at all. Lots of good finds there at times.

All you trash pickers would love living my me. I put tons of stuff on the curb. Happy to pick stuff up too!
