it took me about 2hrs, cutting the wood was tough using a saw hopefully in the future I can use an electrical saw. im not quite sure what the wood is made of, but if i see any sicknesses I will know what the problem is. Also thanks for this help; i forgot to mention on my other quote that the door will be easy in my words i am going to get hinges and wood just like on the other side and its done. I hope my aviary works out and thanks again for your help people. Pictures will be coming as soon as it is finished. May i ask another questions? For the perches how am i going to put them in my aviary without them falling off? ..
