Here is this morning. The next steps will be boring as we need to disassemble the net, toys, plexi and all fasteners to paint and re hang the new nets. The bowls and front perches can not go on until we see the net distances. We don't want poop in the bowls now do we.

You like it so far Danita? When I picked the old gym up to move it outside I said outloud.... "Sorry Danita" You made us not cut corners with anything. I spent my last day off for the summer stripping bark from all my logs and prettiest perches.
Beautiful!!!
Yes they would strip the bark over time. The first gym had maple logs for the supports, maple bark is not good for birds so we stripped it. This gym has willow for the supports but I stripped them because it's much easier to clean smooth wood with poop than bark with poop. The perches I stripped because I did not have a ton of drying time. I wanted them washed and in the oven and the bark would have just been falling of in strips. Grapevine bark is really loose stuff, most would have come off during washing. Grapevine shrinks a lot when dry, I needed to put them in the oven.Why would you strip the bark, just out of curiosity...LOL wouldnt that be something the birds would do over time?
What, no more days off?I spent my last day off for the summer stripping bark from all my logs and prettiest perches.
No, no more days off until September. Hubby and I are flying to Vegas tomorrow or Tuesday with two birds. ( work related ) So the gym had to be put on hold until we come back. It was VERY short notice so we should not expect any changes this week.
What, no more days off?
Brutal!
Steal away! ( but make it better ) The logs are 3" in diameter and are attached to the floor with really long lag bolts. ( lag??? right??? ) The perches are attached to the logs with SS screws that we sink into the wood. All of this is SO easy and SO fun to arrange! Joe and I are NOT handymen so if we can do it anyone can.
a couple questions on logistics... so i can shamelessly steal your ideas.
what is the diameter of your willow poles?
how do you secure the perches to the willow bases?
Now Vegas?No, no more days off until September. Hubby and I are flying to Vegas tomorrow or Tuesday with two birds. ( work related ) So the gym had to be put on hold until we come back. It was VERY short notice so we should not expect any changes this week.
Mandalay BayI have not seen your money... where did you leave it?
Sorry Danita. I already told her that it is a rule to leave you money in Vegas - gotta keep NV green. Al least your money will have company.Now Vegas?
Jealous of the the stand and now jealous of Vegas
See if you can pick up the money I left there last time, it should still be in one of the machines!
Well, since you're there, check around the Blackjack tables at the Bellagio .. pretty certain I left money around there!!yes Vegas. It is SO hot! 101 degrees I think. Echo is filming a commerical today and we are on set right now. I have not seen your money... where did you leave it?
