Stu3y Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 i built my 1st loft last year in may, got a few youngsters and started getting the hang of things, but then ended up having to get rid of my loft and pigeons (house was rented and landlord was selling up) any way we have now bought a house, the garden needs alot of work before a loft can be built but ive been measuring and planning etc, then a loft and plot came up for sale down the allotments so ive bought that instead! it needs painting and the platform/walkway in front of it needs re building as its rotten and collapsing, theres plenty of space infront of it and scope to extend if need be.. just wondering what you would do to it and what alterations you would make ready for ETS? i plan on building at least 1 aviary for the young bird section.. it looks very tatty at the minute but its solid and should look quite smart once ive done some work on it!
