allowing the left side to be raised up to clean out the birdhouse for the
following year’s nesting season.
Step 5
Nail the bottom to the front and back pieces. Remember not to nail
through the left side to attach the bottom or you won’t be able to raise it.
Step 6
The roof of the birdhouse is next. Attach the left side first which is the
piece you had to rip down to 4 ¾” wide. Lay the piece up on the left side
making sure that the amount of overhang is even off both end pieces.
Just do this by eye. Also, the left side of the roof must be even with the
peak of the end pieces since the right side will overlap the left side, (see
the picture below). Spread a bead of glue on top of the end pieces and
nail the left side on with 4d nails.
