You have to hope the Morton salt can wont float up to much. Remember the force is like holding a balloon that size underwater.

Taped up the split form. hopefully I can get this thing out easy and reuse the form.

the foam windows are held on with hotmelt glue and should hold till i want them to pop off??{{gwi:68142}}

All this trouble started this winter by giving my daughter a birdfeeder and 50# bag of food. both kids now have feeders and the 50#'s is almost gone and we have birds nesting all over the place.
Not one to be so stupid to not identify a need.

above one of my speakers.. If it ever turns to spring these eggs might rock open.

poop on the deck below the speaker is one thing but this might be going to far.

this is a lit star. Fried eggs anyone. This one was being built today. I might have to stop this one.

Not sure what these birds are looking for in a shack. I have 3 others that have gone unclaimed.

Hope the salt box stays intact when tamping the tufa down the sides. I'd be worried it would collapse using the wet tufa. I might fill the salt box with sand.

I'm looking forward to seeing the finished birdhouse.

It's a very resourceful design! Good job!

I have wrapped the salt can with saran wrap and sealed the seam with duct tape. It might leak some. Do you think it would hold up long enough for the form to set?? I will most likely fill it with sand.. it will just pour out and keep it from floating up. sorry but things have been busy in the garden and a fishing trip or 2. spent the day getting supplies to plant some pots make more tufa.
Glad to say the new vermiculite I got was small bb sized stuff compared to the large junk from HD. I also played caddy shack today and worked on baiting for moles.. not easy. and it was a hot one over 80. Hope to mix it up in the am.
