It had to be moved 25 kms to my new location . The only thing i didn,t think about where the power lines . We got the shed into Cranbrook and right away we had to stop because of the lines running across the road .
I had to borrow a long stick from a neighbour to push the lines up enough to get under them . We had to do this for the entire 25 kms . What a pain in the @ss . The shed eventually got to the new location without causing any damage . Then today i had one of my new neighbours lift it off the wagon and set it in place .
Everything went smooth without any damage or broken windows .

I had 10 birdhouses to build then it grew to 12 yesterday so in order to get them done in good time i decided to build 4 at a time.
Six of them will be made from 80 year old barnwood and the wood will be planed down and the other six will be done with 120 year old natural barnwood.

I will be having plans made up for the most of the houses. I am also anxious to get these done so i can get back to building the large ones. lol

I had a few skids of 1/2” x 6” plywood lying around ( free wood ) so i decided to use it for the exterior walls .
Then i will use 4×8 sheets of Chalet board over that and then trim everything with 1” rough pine.!
50 percent of the shed is made from reclaimed wood.
