How to Build the Back of a Bat house

Video Transcript

"In this step we will be assembling part of the bat house. First, we will assemble the back to the sides. So we stand the sides up on a flat plate, we take our back and we line the back up with one of the edges on the side panel, and the edge on the top panel. Our drill has a special bit in it designed for the size screws we have that will automatic counter sink the holes for us. Take our screwdriver, and put the screws in, installing the screws about every eight inches down the back of the panel. Now we will do the other side the same way. You will notice that my side wall has a curve to it, that curves in on the back side. In order to straighten that out, you can take your piece that you were going to use for the ceiling or for the bottom, temporarily place it between the two side walls, and it will push the side back out where it needs to go so you can finish putting the screws in it. The screw locations do not need to be exact, but you do need to make sure when you drill through the back of the panel you are within the width of your side wall. And that is how you assemble the back to the side walls."
