    30 years old and I just made my first bird house because of you. Took me 5 hours. I kept on having to go back to your video and I couldn’t find my tools. I’m new to learning how to use a measuring tape and I think some how my 45 degree angles didn’t match.
    It was a mess. But it’s built. Thank you.

    Good video but dont use pressure treated lumber for bird houses. The chemicals will harm the birds. Best to use 1*5 common boards, either pine or oak. You can clear coat the outside of the birdhouse to help weatherize it, just dont coat the part of wood that will be the inside of the bird house.

    Nice project for your kids and someone getting into woodworking, But to build a birdhouse for outside to use in the wild you need to change your plans a little. Don't put a perch are a porch two stand on because predators can also stand on it and get the babies, also make the front so you can open it and clean it once a year. and cut the corners of the bottom to let any rain drain..and drill some vent holes on either side to let air in at least 3 to aside.

    This needs Vent holes, Drainage holes, a way to open it for a yearly cleaning and possible resizing so predators can't get to the chicks in side. Also a Predator Guard should be used at the hole. There is a science to building a Bird House regarding floor area, size of hole for specific birds, height of hole from floor, mounting height from ground to list a few.

      You can use pressured wood but you have to wait. I have used it for years. I do not put the nest out for immediate use by the birds. I put it uncovered outdoors to weather where the birds can’t get at it for a few months. I agree you shouldn’t put the nest out for immediate use, but it would be a shame not to use perfectly good wood. I am currently using a piece of pressured wood that has been weathering outside for over a year and this nest will be put out for use immediately. I haven’t come across any problems to date.

The concept of Your build is great but You dont wanna "kill" the birds with Your kindness because You bought cheap pressure treated dog ear fence board from Home Depot. You can find cedar dog ear fence board if You look around. Home Depot or Lowes has them....for a few cents more. Other than that great video!!!

    Another video that does not tell exactly how wide that board is not it should be around 6 in or how thick the board is because those measurements did not come out and I threw it out

    You did not make a clean out ... Also there should be more ventilation than just the bird hole

    Be sure to NOT use pressure treated wood for birdhouses. It is very dangerous to baby birds.
