I thank you for making these plans available. Its like a dream come true for me. Why arent you charging anything? I don’t understand that.
That rotating pegboard is going in my sewing room, but I’m going to make it a little shorter, may regret it, but I’m not very tall any more because of back problems.
Anyway, I also will be using the aviary plan for something else.. it’s going to be a catio (for my cats) so they can go outside and the dogs won’t get them
I can’t wait to build this. I have looked high and low and could not find what I wanted. Thanks for the plans and look forward to seeing many more.
