I started it in the morning around 10.00ish and was finished in the afternoon by around 16.00.
This is the process
Drill holes and test insert the bolts. The bolts along with wingnuts will be used to hold on the bottom removable base to the access to the inside to clean it out if it's used.
Remove the bolts and saw off the bottom 25mm
Mark out the area to cut out
Start to drill out around the edge, this is the point where I wish I had a big lathe to turn it out
Drill a bigger hole to help the chopping out with the chisel
Start the cut out process
The end of stage 1 chopping out
The end of stage 2 chopping out
After a little tidy up install camera
Connect the camera cable and fix it to the shed
A potential tenant when they start nesting

As you can see the nest is coming along nicely. We just hope they use it this year, last year they started the nest then abandoned it, apparently that's what they do, they start 2 nests then just choose 1. This one looks further on than last years so keeping fingers crossed :xfingers
It will be great to see eggs and then some chicks :thumbsup
Can't wait :whistle
