Mini Aviary/Flight

Mini Aviary/Flight, I'm not sure what to call it, other than MINE! Hubby has helped me up to this point. Now all that's left is to add the front panel, add some plastic, and finish the feeders and waterers. Oh, and doors. *blush* Yeah, doors would be good too.
The size is basically 3 feet by 3 feet by 4 feet tall but with the front being beveled where I believe the measurements are 18" x 28" x 18".
Please excuse the floor's appearance. I'd just messed around with the garland and branches. Once in use it will be swept up then covered with wood chips...basically more messy but prettier to look at. *grins* Right now it's covered in carpet runner and branch bits.
The back has white board on it for ease of wiping off. We did caulk the seams to protect the wood underneath...is that going to be a problem?
The front supports are actually pieces of pvc pipe held in place by caps screwed into the top and bottom pieces and will be hidden by trim once everything is all said and done.
I've placed a full spectrum aquarium light connected to a timer on top and a plugin pale blue nightlight, which has a light sensor, on the side. There's also a black spiral railing decoration hanging in there which I plan on stuffing with nesting material or spray millet. I'm still deciding.
