Friday was a PA day with crummy weather, so Rudi and I worked on a special little project together. A house of sorts, I will describe it's construction very simply, and the first persons to correctly guess what type of house it is will receive one (or more) nights free accommodation at the "Field House Bed and Breakfast".
Lets start with the raw materials, a couple of pieces of 3/8" ply, 3/4"x1-3/4" spacing strips, and some cedar bark (this will be five star luxury accommodation of course!)
Next the outside wall with spacers is built, and some of the cedar bark installed.
Now the inside wall with cedar bark lining is prepared, ready for mounting to the completed outside wall.
TA DA! The completed first unit of the house. This will now be duplexed (or even be triplexed, or more, for larger 'colonies' of guests) with another wall, spacers, and cedar lining to give more very narrow openings for its furry occupants!

Okay, time for the contest to begin! A last hint, the house will be painted dark and mounted on a south facing wall to keep it as warm as possible, especially through the winter. Can someone tell me what type of house this is, or what little critters will hopefully take up residence within?

John guessed that it's for bats.
Is this so that they vacate your attic space and take up residence outside?!?
Well then! John has guessed correctly, so you guys are now obligated to come down and visit us next summer sometime! And yes, prior to finishing the attic I will attempt to evict the cute little things and get them to begin roosting outside.
