| hi ivlasked like the lay out, looks like some of the sections will be 5ft square let us know if there is enough room when the birds are in. also what height is the floor of the ground as my last loft was not high enough and vermin got in i have been advised to put mesh wire down and then the floor on top and this stop them has anyone else any advice on this problem rainbow |

| just a bit of advice when laying down breeze blocks make sure you put some dps damp proof on top of the blocks stops the damp rising through the blocks in to the wood floor . |
