The micro - house on the tiny house.    I’ve been sleeping in the tiny house and enjoying the nocturnal sounds of the wildlife around the dam, except maybe for the microbats as they scramble up the fly-wire door looking for a new cave to roost in. So, I have found a website that has plans for a microbat house. The timber at the bottom has a landing pad with shade cloth, the bats then crawl through a narrow opening into the dark interior which also has shadecloth where they will roost during the day. These fast flying little critters can be seen skimming the dam just before dawn.
 Apparently they love eating mosquitoes...can’t be a bad thing.
