Yes, I ran out of pallet at the very end and had to use a bit of laminate.

Nice! There is a guy here that has an owl nest. It's not a box type, just an open nest. He put a live camera on them a couple years ago and streams it on FB. They are cool to watch. The female is sitting on eggs now.

pilot holes
that is cool for sure

Yes, pilot holes would have been a good idea; but I was doing it for free99 as quickly as possible with a found abandoned pallet.
I added some wood glue today with pine bedding to reinforce the laminate cracks, and a tree branch (pilot holes used for screwing on branch)

so do you have an owl
or
trying to lure one in

that looks great
love the branch

Thanks
Taking it somewhere (not my neighborhood) there used to be an owl, but the owl hasn’t been seen in a year or two.

good luck

i have seen 1 bathing in the creek

Very cool.
I give a hoot.

Good stuff!

If you have FB here is a link to the owl cam someone has setup here. This is the 3rd or 4th year a pair has raised young in this nest.
