Birdhouse Repair

A Few Easy Fixes


This old model came to me with faded paint, a very small entry hole, missing perch, loose nails and insecure clean-out door. So, I rolled it over in my hands for a moment or two, decided it was worth fixing, and started to spruce it up a bit.

 "Good old lumber just needs a bit of TLC"

 "What's with the red entry hole? Stay tuned"

"Red details for entry hole and perch"

I hammered in a few nails, enlarged the entry hole, secured the clean-out door, added roof-edge trim front and back, fashioned a perch, then grabbed a paint brush.

More to follow after a second coat of paint.
