Originally, Destiny was going to go to the Muggle Studies workshop and build something BIG and AWESOME. Well, times have changed and she opted for something little and not so awesome.

A bird house.

It seemed like it would be an easy and fast thing to build. The faster she finished, the faster she could get out of here.

Plus..she figured it would make an EXCELLENT addition to one of the branches on the Whomping Willow.

Right.

With the directions in her hand, she moped her way over to an empty work station, laying the papers across.

Yes, this would be easy!

SPOILER!!: Bird house plans

Now..where were her goggles at!?

SPOILER!!: Bird house plans Supplies * hammer and 1/2" finishing nails * waterproof glue * sandpaper * drill with 1-3/8" hole saw and 1/4" drill bit * 1/2" plywood in sizes for two bottom sides and two inside supports * 1/4" plywood for two roof sections, each 7" x 5" * 1/4" plywood for the front and back sections, each 5-7/8" square< * 5" length of dowel to finish the top, and 3" length of dowel for bird perch * optional: paint or stain Directions 1. Before proceeding with each joint, start the nails, tapping into position, then apply waterproof glue along the joint edge. 2. Butt and glue the two bottom sides together. 3. Next, glue and nail the back section to the bottom sides. 4. Glue and nail the inside supports; for positioning on the back. 5. Using the 1 3/8 hole saw, drill a hole in the front section so that the top of the hole is 2" down from a corner. Use a 1/4" bit to drill a hole for the dowel perch, 5'8" below the bottom of the larger entrance hole. Sand the edges smooth, and sand all other inner parts of the bird house before nailing down the front. 6. Glue and nail the front to the bottom sides and the inside supports. 7. Position roof sections so that they meet, but do not butt at the top. Glue and nail the roof sections into place. The roof overhangs the sides, as shown. 8. Glue the 5" dowel in the channel between the roof sections to complete this joint. 9. Sand all surfaces. 10. Lastly, glue the 3" dowel into position as a perch. Your bird house is now ready to stain or paint as desired. Note: The size of hole that you make in your bird house and its height above ground will determine, in part, what kind of bird your bird house attracts.
