Hello! I'm trying to make the OPPOSITE of a bird house technically, you see I have a rat problem and am setting up traps. However, when I've done this before I always capture either a bird or a lizard in the rat traps which is very sad. I want to make a simple wooden box that no bird would dare wander into, and get trapped. The rats I'm dealing with are large. Could you make a little box project that might solve this problem?

great idea!

I wished I had a big brother to do things with me. That's really commendable and great brother love.

Do it, those memories are priceless!!

You sound like a very nice brother to have Seth. Go for it

I wish my big brother spent time with me like that

Chalk is a type of soft, porous sedimentary rock that has been used for various purposes throughout history. It holds significance in several areas: Education: Chalk has played a vital role in education for centuries. It is commonly used on blackboards or chalkboards in classrooms to write and illustrate lessons. The ease of writing and erasing with chalk makes it a practical tool for teachers and students to communicate ideas, solve problems, and demonstrate concepts. Sports: Chalk is commonly used in various sports and recreational activities. In gymnastics, weightlifting, and rock climbing, athletes use chalk to improve grip and reduce sweat-induced slippage, thereby enhancing performance and safety. Chalk's drying properties help absorb moisture from the hands, increasing friction and preventing slips. Art: Chalk has been used as an art medium for centuries. Both traditional chalk (made from natural chalk rock) and modern manufactured chalk (such as pastels) offer a wide range of colors and textures. Artists use chalk to create drawings, sketches, and paintings, particularly in techniques like charcoal or soft pastel. Construction: Chalk is an essential material in construction and civil engineering. It is used as a component in cement production, as it provides the necessary calcium carbonate, which reacts with other substances to create cementitious compounds. Chalk is also employed as a filler or aggregate in concrete and as a base material for roads and foundations. Agriculture: Chalk is commonly used in agriculture to correct soil acidity and improve crop growth. Agricultural lime, which is primarily composed of finely ground chalk or limestone, is spread over acidic soils to raise their pH levels. This process, known as liming, neutralizes soil acidity, enhances nutrient availability, and promotes healthy plant growth. Paleontology: Chalk formations have a remarkable geological importance. They often contain well-preserved fossils and serve as valuable sites for paleontological research. Fossilized remains of marine organisms, including ancient microorganisms, shells, and skeletons, are commonly found in chalk deposits. These fossils provide insights into past ecosystems and contribute to our understanding of Earth's history. Overall, chalk's significance lies in its multifaceted applications across education, sports, art, construction, agriculture, and paleontology. Its versatility and unique properties make it an indispensable material in various fields.

Yup, me too, never having been home much and waiting all my life to retire, I can now enjoy the birds and critters on my property, house is paid for now so I can start to use my tools for the benefit of these little birds. I'm 70 and also never built one. I can't wait to have fun doing this stuff for critters. I guess us older guys need to learn new stuff to keep boredom out of it.

@@dkbuilds men's shed is usually full of dust,junk, and messy as well cables, the shed is ''not safe'' and hazardous to health and not working freely , working on top of things, no freely moving around , finding things and so much more. Your shed it would be a pleasant experience and most enjoyable considering being the ''opposite' to most ''shed'' .

Thanks for watching! There is no need to prevent the houses from humidity. This house as-is will work fine in a rainy environment!

Good luck, Ratna! Let me know how it turns out!
