How to make a Bird House using wood from a pallet

WoW! This was suppose to be a one day build but with interruptions it took 2 weeks. First off, pallet wood stinks like cow when they are cut. Little birds do hangout here however, they get scared when the house swings back and forth. Buy one 1in x 6in x 6ft cedar wood (cedar does not rout and can handle the sun) Utilizing the wood, here are the dimensions The left and right side of the house is - 7in tall and 5 1/2in wide The center and back of the house is - 5 1/4in wide and 10 in at the center top of the wood. To cut the roof angle, place the tape measure at the center top and pivot the tape measure to 4 1/4in. That's where you draw the line and cut the angle. The bottom of the house is - 5 1/4 in wide and 7 in long. The roof is - 5in x 5in The hole is - 2in diameter hole. You can get away with a 2 1/2in hole for larger birds. The front and back of the roof, screw in an eye hook and string your string to it.
