In this step we will be assembling part of the bat house. First, we will assemble the
back to the sides. So we stand the sides up on a flat plate, we take our back and we line
the back up with one of the edges on the side panel, and the edge on the top panel. Our
drill has a special bit in it designed for the size screws we have that will automatic
counter sink the holes for us. Take our screwdriver, and put the screws in, installing the screws
about every eight inches down the back of the panel. Now we will do the other side the
same way. You will notice that my side wall has a curve to it, that curves in on the back
side. In order to straighten that out, you can take your piece that you were going to
use for the ceiling or for the bottom, temporarily place it between the two side walls, and it
will push the side back out where it needs to go so you can finish putting the screws
in it. The screw locations do not need to be exact, but you do need to make sure when
you drill through the back of the panel you are within the width of your side wall. And
that is how you assemble the back to the side walls.
