Well, hello my friends!
Summer is here, are you enjoying it so far? That was my plan, until a few weeks ago when a new DIY project popped on my to do list and I had to get busy. This time: Creating easy to build bird houses.
All Spring long we were busy as bees taking care of the yard. Planting a new lawn, updating shrubs and bushes, flower beds and doing a plethora of other projects in order to maintain our outdoor space looking good and ready for Summer.

DIY - EASY BIRD HOUSES
These bird houses are a beginner's project. You can use a hand saw, hammer and nails to construct a simple box with a roof out of a few small pieces of wood. In fact, I used wood taken from my scrap pile.
You can find the easy bird house plans right HERE.
Now, if you have some power tools, the building process will go much faster.

And hey, just by accident, I found a way to give the front of the houses some cool texture. ;)

However, painting the roofs in vibrant colors made them look even better. I can't wait for mother nature to give them some more character.
But hey, that's not it. This wooden crate was used to store that item that we used the most during all of our outdoor projects...
Yes, our OFF!® Deep Woods Dry Insect repellent is what we always have at hand when working or while enjoying our outdoor spaces.
Living right next to the woods is both, a blessing and a curse. We get to enjoy its beauty, the wild life... Birds, squirrels, foxes, deer and many other animals that call this space home. But with them come many unfavorable insects and bugs that are both harmful and annoying to us humans.

And hey, I have the perfect spot to store our OFF!® insect repellent.
No need to run to the house for it. I have it where we need it!
Most evenings we're here, enjoying our Summer and waiting for the birds to make those little houses their home.
Enjoying the fruits of our labor and not worrying about mosquitoes or other insects bugging us. ;)
