Wooden Birdhouse Garden

Are there any grammatical errors in this paragraph?

One of the most tranquil places to be is my aunt and uncles backyard. The fragrance of newly bloomed pink Impatiens, blue Phlox and yellow Lady Bank Rose fills the evening air. A low hum comes from bees buzzing around the Wysteria Vine that shades the wooden swing below. Chipmunks scurry along the ground in search of a stray sunflower seed that has fallen from the bird feeder above. A bullfrog's deep croak echos off the still pool of water that surrounds him. Yellow Finches that perch on trees nearby sing a melodious tune. At the corner of the porch is an antique barrel filled to the brim with rain water used for watering the garden. Birdhouses that hang from the tin roof of the porch gently sway in the warm summer breeze. The chirping of crickets bring warm feelings of home in the country. The bright green lizzard is well camouflaged as it rests on a fern. My aunt and uncle's backyard is the perfect place to relax.

Wooden Bird House

What can I use on a wooden bird house to keep it from weathering?

It is made out of wood and painted but I want it to last awhile and dont want the rain to rot it. What can i use and how much does it cost?

Spray it with a clear acrylic spray paint. Use several light coats. Make sure it is clean and dry before painting. They also sell a UV poly in a spray can which should protect it against the elements. These tend to yellow in the sunlight so if there is any white in the color use the acrylic.

fractions for 7th grade math homework?

We did a huge unit on fractions in the 6th grade but I haven't done them in a year and have just been given this homework assignment. Even though it's way easy I can not remember for the life of me how to do it! Here is the problem:

Mrs. Smith is making wooden benches for her birdhouse from a strip of thin board. She cuts 1/12 of the strip for another project. Benches take 1/8 of a strip.

a.) Suppose Mrs. Smith uses the remainder of the strip for benches. How many benches can she make?

b.) Draw diagrams to confirm your answer.

I am pretty sure you find 1/8 of 9/12 so you multiply 1/8 by 9/12 but I got 9/96 when I multiplied Answers immediately please! Thank you!

a.) You have to convert the fractions so that they have a common denominator. The least common denominator that both 8 and 12 go into is 24, so:

1/12 = 2/24
1/8 = 3/24

So she took away 2/24 of the strip of wood. This means that there are 22/24 of the strip left. Divide 22/24 by 3/24, as that is the amount of wood it takes to make a bench:

(22/24) / (3/24) (now you can simplify the 22/24)
(11/12) / (3/24) (change the division sign into multiplication and multiply by one of the fraction's reciprocals)
11/12 * 24/3 (multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator)
264/36 (simplify)
66/9 (further simplify)
22/3

So she can make 22/3 benches, or 7 and 1/3 benches.

b.) Sorry, you'll have to do the diagram yourself.

Log Cabin Birdhouses - a Log Cabin Home for Your Birds

Americans have been in love with the image of their ancestors living in log cabins for many years. It is a concept firmly rooted even in our political history, where as far back as the time of the Whigs of William Henry Harrison who used the symbol of the log cabin to identify with the common man. Seven of our early presidents were born to families living in log cabins, to further drive home the ties to our early history. Of course the stories of Abraham Lincoln and his youth in log cabins cement the love affair we have with the log cabin.

Some of that allure was the basic design of the house. The logs were cut and notched, and stacked together so they interlocked, and the finish was mud or grass to "weatherproof" the cabin.

Log Cabins for the Birds

So birdhouses that emulate that simplicity are a favorite design. They range in complexity from simple one room cabin designs crafted from wood. You can find some that are not even wood, but are ceramic reproductions, and these come in varied colors and themes. The ceramic houses are on the small side, and attract much smaller birds such as wrens.

For actual wooden houses, they are fashioned from traditional wood products like fir, and you will find a wide range of sizes. Simple one room houses, some that look like frontier homes, and some look more like multiple story plantation homes or mansions, but still with a log cabin exterior.

These days with an increased emphasis on sustainability in our purchases, you will find some log cabin birdhouses that are made from bamboo. This is a great material for building, and is actually stronger than some more traditional hardwoods. Some of these look more like huts, but others look like the traditional log cabin.

Shop around for some log cabin birdhouses and you can find the one that's right for your yard.

How to Make a Bird Feeder : Attaching Hinges to Bird Feeder

How to stick to wood?

How could I say some glue to 12 inches and 6 2x4 blocks together to make them twice as long. I'm going to rip into 1x4 to make bird houses and other small things. I wonder what would be the best and easiest method to connect to get longer. We, of true! What kind of joint cabinet I can use? I am speaking as end to end

wood glue and clamps work if the wood is already planned. Of course it would need long tweezers if you are trying to glue them together for more length. An easy way to do this without using tweezers is to get some bolts of your local rail of the ladder. These cost a few dollars each and you need a drill. Your local ladder company should be able to explain how to use them. We use them to connect sections of rail together when necessary. You have to remove the wood 1 "x 4" before the bolts together. Once tightly bound together, filling the cracks with wood putty and fill the drill holes with plugs or outlets download button mushrooms. Another way to do this which can be cheaper would be to use wooden pegs instead of rail bolts. I recommend using at least 3 per joint. Still needed a drill. You also need wood glue. I want to extract the wood first, then drill the holes evenly spaced on both ends to be joined. It is important that the holes are aligned. Add a little glue into the holes and insert the studs, then fasten the wood together until the glue dries (usually overnight is a long time). Of course, this method will cost you more if you need to buy calipers 3.2 feet long. Good luck with your project.
