Re: Our Aviary .....
Today we finished framing, did the floor, some screening. We used painters tape to assembly it to make sure all side were even and matched up well...it was interesting to see it together. We will finish screening it tomorrow then move it indoors piece by piece and assemble it in the bird room.

Re: Our Aviary .....
Looks great Cindy! How did you attach the screen? Is it wire? plastic mesh? You'll have to show us how you plan to clean it with the doors you put in place. I'm trying to picture someone getting low to the ground to open the side door and take care of stuff. I'm very curious as I want to finish building the aviary I started two years ago, when I really didn't know what I was doing with the structure. Now, I need to redesign and make adjustments based on the learning done here. Great tutorial to watch you and your husband build the aviary step by step!
