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.
