October 13, 200915 yr Author I think Splat expresses a thought that a lot fo us have - pure jealousy :angel: Very impressive Kaz. It is really coming along. MMMmmmm and I cant do anything on it for a week due to heavy workload :sad:
October 13, 200915 yr Yes, but by the end of the week, you willl be able to afford to do what you want to it. Damn job providing income but taking up my leisure time!!!!!!! :angel::rofl::sad::rofl::sad::rofl::sad:

October 14, 200915 yr Author I was in the smaller temporary aviary earlier today and it was quite warm. Then when I went into the new flight area it was way cooler. I think the aspect will work out good for the birds. The higher roofline will keep it cooler. The temporary aviary has a very low roof so it warms up quicker. The crossflow breezes ( in the new flights ) will help in summer with the windows that can be opened. The morning sun comes up the side the windows are on. The late afternoon sun ( which in summer will be hottish ) will be kind of mid flight area. The open ended flight section will be where they are late afternoon and at the feeding platform two thirds of the way down the flights. They will perch at dusk after the sun has been at its hottest. We will erect shade sails over the roof for summer and across the paved area between birdroom and aviary. In theory it should all work out. :sadsorry: Edited October 15, 200915 yr by KAZ
October 14, 200915 yr fantastic kaz this is a very well thought out and problem solving sett up and in long run is going to pay for its self in the health and happiness and comptability of your birds
October 15, 200915 yr Author Despite me being sick and still having to work 24/7 on some leadlight jobs that have overlapping deadlines, Ken has decided he will finish off most of the aviary through the weekend. True to his promise he went off and bought the tubular square steel and joiners for the popout end of the aviary today. Fingers crossed He has Monday off work too, but also his dad has been admitted to hospital so I expect some delays.
October 15, 200915 yr Kaz if you need a hand you only have to call and I'll be happy to help you and Ken best I can.
