Make sure you read and understand thoroughly all of the instruction and safety precautions that came with your tools.

Our custom replica birdhouses are made from milled 5/8″ eastern white pine, fastened and joined with exterior grade screws and glue. Pre-milled lumber can be found at lumber yards and big box hardware stores. Finished 3/4″ pine in 6′ or 8′ widths can be glued and joined to create walls and roofs. Always use long grain but joints and never try to glue end grain, because it is not a structural joint. An interior frame can be built to attach the walls and roof to. Make sure that the bottom of the birdhouse is reinforced to accept mounting hardware.

There it is, if you are looking to make a decorating change, but your budget is really tight, make a plan, pick a theme, then try out some of the resources above to recreate your rooms, on a budget!
