Mindy: I was able to attach it to the wood by the help of my wonderful dad, and he awesome collection of tools (I don't own any, lol). We had to build a ledge like you would for a deck. My dad then used his tooks and drilled holes throgh the inned part of the truck topper...I guess in the same are you would normally attach to a truck?? After that we drilled into the wood, added a wood ledging, and drilled through all. if that makes sense... I can get more detailed instructions, and correct names of the bits/tools.

pattersonk2002 : You are very correct on the price guess.. I didn't have the wood so that had to be bought, along with nails, and wire mesh. I already had the paint, screening and the roof . It was an eye sore in the yard....and my dads idea.

The labor....If I had to pay for this part it would have cost me a ton. I have been pretty sick with bronchitis. My poor dad and boyfriend, stepped up the last two weeks to help...and did most of the labor, with me talking them through it and supervising. If they would not have helped, it would not have been completed. They worked right after their normal jobs and worked till after dark, almost every night.

Nice job Hilly! Now that's using your head! I love how everyone comes up with "odd" little ideas to make comfy new homes for their pigeons!

She named it Odd Feather's Loft.
Very cute, Hilly.

I didn't see your post until today (been offline awhile), but I wanted to say it looks great! I love the truck topper as a roof! What a fabulous idea. I've seen them offered for free in the classifieds before and was never interested, but now? hmmm...

I like the size, too. It looks like it will make a nice comfy home for your pigeons.
