So, my hubby made half of this shed/playhouse a house for our ducks at night....eventually he will build a deck for the playhouse on top, and then he will fully fence underneath the deck so that the ducks will be fully enclosed. We don't have predators out here, but he is still going to do this so they can be completely safe at night and then I can leave the door to the duck house open so they can come out or go in at night without me worrying:

This is a pic from the inside:

He buried mesh and then boarded up the entire outside (my eggs kept getting eaten in the spring):

Built a duck door and enclosed it on three sides so no wind and rain can get inside:

Duck door from inside, the white stuff on the walls is called Fiberglass Reinforced Panels that is used in commerical kitchens, completely waterproof:

Wow..... I am SOOO jealous. Well, this is definitely one post I will not be able to share with my Khakis. There would be mutiny!
 
Thank you! It IS really nice, and my hubby ROCKS! When I asked him last year if he would mind if I got a COUPLE of ducks, he said, "Yeah, I don't care, but just dont' expect me to do anything for them....your ducks, your problem!" (He said this jokingly, but serious, know what I mean?) Well.....he has since dug this out BY HAND, with a shovel and wheelbarrow:

Plus, he has made this coop for them. He built the shed and playhouse a few years ago, the shed isn't done, so he decided to make half of it for my ducks.

I am way impressed and way excited for it. My ducks survived the night in it, so all is well!!

Again, thanks!
