I see people building birdhouses, birds are okay but personnaly I like watching the Squirrels. This is some of my reclaimed redwood, I figured it should weather okay.
Made a plexiglas roof, This is the first time I've tried bending plexiglas, I clamped it to the workbench with a caul on top and used a heat gun, went slow and easy, bent very nicely!
Glued some angled strips to match the angle of the roof.
I attached the roof with double sided tape, but I plan on using some clear silicone when I get some.
Full of Peanuts.
In place waiting for the Dinner crowd to arrive!
