Ok. I’m getting pretty close. The door is done, just not assembled in the photo. The hardware cloth is up. The roof is on, but I’m currently cutting a few more pieces of wood to give the roof more support. I’m just taking a break to post this stuff right now.
But I have a question. The solid wall on the west side of the duck house was made with treated pine that I painted, however the pine has warped just a tiny bit to reveal some gaps. They are small gaps, so I don’t know if these are safe or not. What do you think.

It sure looks awesome. Just about there. fill the pool you have out there and take a plunge when the heat gets to you lol

Once I get the roof supports in there it won’t look saggy like it does currently.

Still looks good I can’t wait to see them init they are going to see a whole new world.

Yes. It will be a wonderful world with space to roam and stretch. Poor ducks. I sure wish it wasn’t 106*+. Texas is down right evil for in summer.

I can’t imagine that kind of heat.

View attachment 1511093 But what about these gaps? Do you think anything bad can squeeze through and hurt the ducks.

Mink , weasels can supposedly squeeze through 1” gaps holes etc. rattlers?

Huh. Ok. I guess I’ll add some hardwarecloth over the wood panels. I never thought about minks before. I googled it and supposedly Texas(DFW area has them). I was only thinking about mice, but wasn’t sure if mice could or would harm ducks.
