Very good idea.

 

Thanks for the mental image with ken -

Just bought two more ( 2nd hand ) sliding aluminium windows for the back wall. So we can slide them open for crossflow breezes and shut down for bad weather.

Love the window idea!! Its looking awesome and its great you are getting such good help

I'm not sure about glass facing the sun in our summers... are they shaded?

There will be shadesails up covering the whole area, including the whole roof, for summer. And I may well solartint the windows too.

 

 

 

I have started doing the mesh down the centre. One section done today

 

 

 

If I didnt have leadlight work on right now I would get this done sooner

Holy cow, great job!

You were very valuable as well on the day Renee so many thanks. Hows Tony's cut finger ?

Not serious at all! Despite being quite deep it had completely closed over when we took the band aid off yesterday

Is it very tricky to do?

Meshing is a pain........even Cec said the other day he hated that part of the job. Its slow and tedious and cutting the mesh gives you blisters on all your fingers.

Yes, it does! I thought it was just me, holding the cutters to tightly.

I went out and bought a better quality pair of wire cutters today hoping for less blisters

More photos.......aviary is still not finished

Room for hammocks for you guys when next you visit

Oh it's really looking great!

 

Have you finished the meshing now? Are you ready to do perches?

 

Or will you do the pop outs/suspended aviary next?

Most meshing is finshed all except window meshing and front which will have to be the last thing.

We are currently working on the popout/suspended section right now. Perching is down there ready to go. The whole perching rack will be hinged at the top and secured at bottom with slide bolts, so it can be dropped against the wall by sliding back the slide bolts, ............and that will mean I can clean the floor under the perches easily and clean perches themselves and replace any perches in the future that get eaten through.

 

We found some great powdercoated steel brackets thrown out front of a house for rubbish removal and we are recycling them for the supports for the popout section

Wow! What a lucky find!

 

Your setup is looking really good. I can't wait to see it finished. (As I'm sure you and Ken are, too )

It's taking far too long...........I will be as happy as a pig in a mud puddle once I put the birds in there

I know it still seems a long way off, but the continual progress you are making is amazing. Yes, it will be good when it is done, but you should be proud of its development. Well done to you and Ken.

Thanks Dave You should see all my wounds.....I tried taking the side of my thumb today...the same thumb I put the angle grinder through a week ago and the same thumb I cut the knuckle of a few days ago

For someone who works in a profession that involves cutting class, I generally thought you would be more........safe......when it comes to injuries

 

For me, the equivalent would be not liking kids -

WOW it's looking great Kaz and huge, I wish my setup was like that :fingerscrossed: Lucky find for the brackets, looks like you have almost finished not long now I hope

getting their my friend well done birds will love it

I think Splat expresses a thought that a lot fo us have - pure jealousy :angel:

 

Very impressive Kaz. It is really coming along.
