How big are the compartments?

1.5x1.5x1.5

Ah, ok. Regular acrylic paint?

I'm going to be honest, I'm not sure what we used. But as long as it gives a relatively even and smooth finish then go for it.

Got some old nesting boxes from my step-dad. They have been sitting unused for at least 5 years. They are made of 1-1/4" plywood and, yes, they need a good cleaning. Hubby & I are debating whether it is worth my effort to clean them - or does he just build new ones out of new lumber ?

If I do clean them, suggestions on with what & do I treat them with anything? They've been through 2 good rainstorms so most of the is gone.

Thank you & happy farming or egging

OSB will rot and fall apart if it gets wet. I would pass

That's a little tight. The presswood wouldn't wash well, I'd pass on them.

That is a perfectly fine size. My boxes are 1'x1' and between 8" to 14" tall (sloped roof).

You are right, 1.5 feet square is a great size. Just the materials aren't the best.
