Still needs finishing touches such as finishing painting the doors and adding a nestbox and door latches. The whole thing was an old armoire that I used for a computer desk for years. It was made out of pine so I turned it sideways and took off the shelves and added a front, doors and the roof. I will use the small door at the top of the roof to store feed, buckets, etc.
The armoire I already had. The only thing that I bought were nails, screws and two plexiglass 8x10 pieces for their little window for 1.50 each and four 2x3's. All together it cost around 20.00. With the high roof it stands about 6ft tall.
Thick hardboard siding was leftover from my dad building my niece a playhouse.
Shingles were leftover from my parent's house
Paint was porch type oil paint someone gave me.
1x2's used from scrap pieces we had lying around
hinges were used from the armoire doors.
roost is a long straight stick taken from our fig tree (best perches ever!)
