Using a table saw, cut the slots for plexi in two of the side pieces - just tight enough for the width of the plexi.

Later, you will apply some indoor/outdoor caulking to keep the plexi in place and seal it up real nice.

Put the three wood pieces together to form the two sides and the back of the "camera house". You can also put the other three pieces together for the Bird seed house now as well.

Attach the roof to the "seed house'. (leave the roof for the "camera house" until late... you will screw it down, rather than nailing, so later you can easily access the wiring.

I have a nice jig for making perfect 90 degree angles...highly recommended. Apply a small amount of gorilla glue, clamp together, then nail in place. I like to make a small pilot hole to avoid splitting the wood.
