Duplexes: "A Hodge Podge of Lumber" 1

Some Rescued Lumber, Some Not

 "Tall unit will be about 12 inches high once roof slats are attached"

Half of the duplexes will be made from purchased, white pine barnboard. The other half will be from rescued material.

E.g., the 14- by 10-inch base, and faces for the side apartment will be white pine (to be painted). The faces of the tall unit are roof slats for both units will be from rescued western cedar (Joe Flagler's dock boards, Fenelon Falls). Scrap plywood will also make an appearance.

A hodge podge of lumber may seem like an odd recipe for a birdhouse but that's why Home Hardware in Wortley Village invented paint back in the 1800s. (Maybe it was somebody else?)

I have a birdhouse sale on Saturday so I'm hoping I'll be able to move quick! More to follow.
