Put up a new bird feeder?

April 15, 2010 Seed Bird Feeder

1) The bird feeder will be put on top of a vertical 4" by 4" post. The residents want the post to be 2.5 metres high. To make the post sturdy, you must bury it at least 0.5 metres. If a 4" x 4" post costs .79 a foot, how much will the post cost?

2) Once the post is buried, you need added support. You attach wires 1.5 metres up from the base of the post on either side. The wires are 1 metre from the base. Wire costs .25 a foot. How many feet of wire will you need and how much will it cost?

3) The bird feeder will hold 1.5 L of bird seed. How many pints will it hold?

4) A bolt is needed to attach the feeder to the post. At least 1/2 inch of the screw must penetrate the wood to be secure. You also need to put a 1/8 inch washer in between the screw and the wood. The screw must go through a 1 inch board, the washer, and penetrate the wood. Determine the minimum length of screw required if the screw type is sold in 1/4 inch increments.

make sure on the bottom u put dishwasher liquid because it will keep the food from falling out. and it will smell better to attract the bird easier, it is also less of an eye sore.
