New construction



An update to all the construc-tion going on here. As you've seen in earlier posts, the new mews are done and being used. Next on the agenda is metal siding on the bunny barn and the owl barn. Both these buildings have been in use for more than a decade and are showing it. The bottom photo shows the newly sided bunny barn, isn't it looking great? Of course I now have to redo the inside as some of the cages are also showing wear and tear and probably half the mice in Cody live in the ceiling.

The top photo is of the owl barn as a work in progress. As you can see, the plywood siding is deteriorating even tho it was painted not too long ago. The three owls are now in one of the new mews next door so we could work on this one. The netting is off the openings so I can now make the jail bar inserts for them. As soon as that is done, hopefully by the end of this weekend, then John and Alan will be back to put on the metal siding.

I am so thrilled to see all of this getting done. Sometimes it seems as if I march in place but then great workers like John McGee and Alan Becker come along and get the jobs done just the way I planned. I'll be sure to post a photo of the finished owl barn when that happens.
