Hi guys,
I've just finished building a birdhouse from a cheap computer desk (talk
about recycling). It's particle board with the plastic(?) coating that
looks like wood. I'd like to weatherproof it. I thought of just slapping
on multiple layers of paint I have laying around. I don't think the
birds will mind. Comments? Suggestions?
TIA
Joe

Paint will help protect it. Do not paint the inside. An asphalt roof
shingle on top will provide added protection.
