The Workshop: Old lumber won't go to waste

Four or five boards from an old barn were revealed when I tidied up The Annex recently, and though my scrap box is full, and a wee burn in my backyard fire pit is on the agenda, the barn board became four school-house-style birdhouses.

Sanding and assembly went quickly today; the cooler temperatures helped me work at a steady pace, minus one short break for tea.

By Wednesday the four houses will have a small bell tower and a coat or two of light-coloured wash, like two others I finished a week or two ago.

Steady as she blows!
