loft looking very nice gary, put a lot of hard work into it..........well done.

looking smart gary nice job....do you find the gloss holds moisture on the walls

Cheers guys. You wouldn't believe the work that has gone into it.
Actually I use the term gloss loosely, it's white undercoat with just under a third gloss. I have never had a problem with condensation. we have insulated lined loft walls, with loads of non draughty ventilation, so condensation is never a problem. I find painting the boxes with this paint protects the nestboxes especially at breeding time with all the nest mess.

Nice job Gary good rewards after all the hard work mate

Cheers Don. Just seeing it coming together from the plans I drew, is reward enough. A lot of the fanciers, who came to see it earlier on, who said it was a crackpot design. Have now taken a step back and said they can actually see benefits. One fancier has even said he is thinking about the cage design. lol.
Lets hope the new race team will adapt to the new system.
