I still need to buy a whirly bird before shed is erected.

 

 

You also need to be able to block it off for winter :D

 

Block off the whirley bird? Why? It allows fresh air in, but does not provide a draught

Wind Dave :D

I think we are finishing the cementing on Thursday, can't wait . BUT shed probably won't go up until the following weekend because

we need to wait for the cement to dry probably before we put the dyno bolts in.

All the steps you have to wait for made me think of all the waiting we do when breeding budgies. First wait for the birds to go into condition and bond. Then wait for them to lay eggs. Then count off the days on the calendar and wait for the eggs to hatch. Then wait two days between chicks, but after a few chicks you look back and realize that the time has gone by fast!

 

I can never have an outdoor aviary, Splat, but I am enjoying watching your progress as you get yours! :thumbs_up:

Can't wait Dave, Hoping when Greg gets home from funeral we will start. Have to wait for cement to dry before putting shed up which is annoying. We are using dyno bolts to keep it in place.

Then I have the hard task of lining it and that will be a slow process because of money because I am still paying off my car repair. :wacko:

As long as it is ready by next breeding season :rofl:

We plain on putting the shed up Saturday or Sunday week. Have to make sure the cement is really dry enough to take the dyno bolts. :)

Cant the shed be put up earlier and the dynabolts done after :(

No it might blow away, it is recommended to attach anchors straight away. So I just have to be patient :(

:rolleyes::rolleyes:2 more DAYs before SHED goes UP, I just can't wait now :( I got my whirly bird yesterday I almost bought one that was clear hard plastic, it is designed to be a sky light too but the guy talked me out of it saying that the tin ones last longer. BUT I thought it was a good idea though.

i bet the tin was more expensive ???

No actually the one I got was zinc colour and on special for $53.00 the colour ones $98.00 and the hard plastic sky light ones $98.00, the are smaller than the tin ones too but heavier. :P

I kinda wished I had of got the sky light one now because I need all the extra light i can get in there.

Wow. Splat, I know I've not been around much lately but you are doing a great job! Cheers to you!
