Or you could check out dimensions through Google Images, as in this search:</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><a href="https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1SQJL_enUS804US804&sxsrf=ALeKk014n7WPrwbK3b81QfVIFSJvK37dEg:1606611760845&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=peterson+bluebird+house+plans&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjG6a-ax6btAhX5SjABHVk_BugQjJkEegQIAhAB&biw=1280&bih=587&dpr=1.5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="enhancr_card_6683070916">peterson bluebird house plans - Pesquisa Google</a><br></div><div><br></div><div id="ydp385e64f7enhancr_card_6683070916" class="ydp385e64f7yahoo-link-enhancr-card ydp385e64f7yahoo-link-enhancr-not-allow-cover ydp385e64f7ymail-preserve-class ydp385e64f7ymail-preserve-style" style="max-width:400px;font-family:YahooSans, Helvetica Neue, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" data-url="https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1SQJL_enUS804US804&sxsrf=ALeKk014n7WPrwbK3b81QfVIFSJvK37dEg:1606611760845&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=peterson+bluebird+house+plans&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjG6a-ax6btAhX5SjABHVk_BugQjJkEegQIAhAB&biw=1280&bih=587&dpr=1.5" data-type="YENHANCER" data-size="MEDIUM" contenteditable="false"><a href="https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1SQJL_enUS804US804&sxsrf=ALeKk014n7WPrwbK3b81QfVIFSJvK37dEg:1606611760845&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=peterson+bluebird+house+plans&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjG6a-ax6btAhX5SjABHVk_BugQjJkEegQIAhAB&biw=1280&bih=587&dpr=1.5" style="text-decoration:none !important;color:#000 !important" class="ydp385e64f7yahoo-enhancr-cardlink" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><table border="0" class="ydp385e64f7card-wrapper ydp385e64f7yahoo-ignore-table" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="max-width:400px"><tbody><tr><td width="400"><table border="0" class="ydp385e64f7card ydp385e64f7yahoo-ignore-table" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="max-width:400px;border-width:1px;border-style:solid;border-color:rgb(224, 228, 233);border-radius:2px"><tbody><tr><td><table border="0" class="ydp385e64f7card-info ydp385e64f7yahoo-ignore-table" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="background:#fff;position:relative;z-index:2;width:100%;max-width:400px;border-radius:0 0 2px 2px;border-top:1px solid rgb(224, 228, 233)"><tbody><tr><td style="background-color:#ffffff;padding:16px 0 16px 12px;vertical-align:top;border-radius:0 0 0 2px"><img class="ydp385e64f7card-object-1 ydp385e64f7yahoo-ignore-inline-image ydp385e64f7ymail-preserve-class" src="https://s.yimg.com/lb/brands/80x80_google.png" height="36" style="min-width:36px;margin-top:3px"></td><td style="vertical-align:middle;padding:12px 24px 16px 12px;width:99%;font-family:YahooSans, Helvetica Neue, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;border-radius:0 0 2px 0"><h2 class="ydp385e64f7card-title" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 6px; font-family: YahooSans, Helvetica Neue, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(38, 40, 42); max-width: 314px;">peterson bluebird house plans - Pesquisa Google</h2><p class="ydp385e64f7card-description" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; color: rgb(151, 155, 167);"></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Good luck, and have good birding!</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Rick Schroeder</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">In the Little Red House</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">In the Saginaw Wood</div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div><br></div>
