Hi Gang

My wife asked me to make a birdhouse for her to use indoors. After the 
project was completed, she liked it so much that she now wants to put it 
in the yard near the garden. Is there a wood preservative that will 
enable the birdhouse to last for a while outdoors (not exterior ply)? 
Will it change the painted colors on the project -- prefer one that 
won't. All advice will be appreciated (except of course, that I make the 
next one out of exterior ply :) .

Thanks
Ed
