Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[scarlettohara]

Sorry no pics yet as want to paint it. I'm really pleased with it, it wasn't expensive and this is reflected in the quality (not as good as my chirpy coops runs) but for what I want it for (intros, chicks, growers) it if perfect. It has a raised step below the door to stop littlies running out and dogs rushing in ) no roof (apart from weldmesh) but have added corrugated plastic. I want to paint it pink to match my - does anyone do this shade ? The coop currently in there is painted in cuprinol willow - what else would go with this ?

at the back of the cuprinol brochure I had it mentioned mixing different colours (ivory and burgundy?) to get a pastel pink, I guess more red less white would make a brighter pink? sounds fun !

B&Q do a range called Sanidol(?) I think there was a pink; there was a purple that made me go 'wow!' but I don't think I should inflict my passion for purple on the neighbours In town there's a 'purple' house including purple clothes on the line, upvc conservatory; tis truely shocking!

I've been to Hayle and can imagine how a purple house with purple conservatory ( ) would stand out slightly
