First one cut and in process. Rough cedar. Basic design. Last edited by straycat; 06/24/18 04:41 PM. "The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever."

Depending on how much weight momma cat plans to put in the box, you might want to add some extra screws on the ends. Long screws too. If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Also use a couple washers on the screws when mounting them to the house. Cedar is soft and if you put much weight on them the screws might eventually pull through the wood. Washers should help prevent that.

Using a sleeve through the cedar so rear anchors will not pull out. Wife is going to use clay pots for seasonal flowers and the rest will be high quality fake greenery (ivy and such) with some decorative accent pieces inside the boxes. Stain is on.

Did some "aisle engineering" at Home Depot earlier....you know, stand there thinking and muttering to yourself, ciphering, and formulating the plan in the aisle. Brackets attached with tapcons through a sleeve, hidden on backside. Bay window and another one on far right. Time for a nap.
