It is two 8x10 mews with an 8x4 work area in between them. There will be a main door into the 8x4 area and then a door goes each direction into the mews, one to the left and one to the right. The inside doors to the mews are offset so the birds aren't staring at each other all day. When I get the updated pics you will better understand what I am saying Cheers ;D

Sounds like a nice floor plan. I use my garage for alot of that... weighing, imping etc... so i didn't build an equipment/work room. I wish now that i had. Volo wasn't free lofted until the molt began, so her flying out the door wasn't a problem initially. But it could be with future birds. The problem is that my mews are built so well that they'll never fall down. So i'll never get a chance to change all the things i want to change . Maybe others can learn from this: Build adequate, but inexpensive mews to pass your inspection, b/c after a year or so of hawking, you'll want to change what you have to suit you better. "Experience is what you get one second after you need it!"
Actually the weighing and records etc. are still done inside the house as I don't like the close quaters. It's more of a big safety chamber that I can leave some equipment in. Besides, it's too darn hot to stay outside for very long anyway.

I got my wife to accept the dog in the house, but only b/c Max (my 3 y/o) loves him. I can bring the hawk in the house for brief periods of time. I just have to be prepared to shield myself agianst the daggered stares that come my way when she mutes on the kitchen floor . For some reason that irritates my wife. Don't get me wrong, wonderful woman, my wife. She's just a little picky about her new kitchen floor getting white washed. Go figure!
Tell her the acidic content of the slice actually aids in cleaning the floor....Probably won't fly, but it sounds good. You could go into PH balance and stuff to sound all technical. Ya know, throw in a bunch of big words and such to confuse her....At least long enough to run and hide

Well, The wife gave me the go ahead yesterday to buy another $150 bucks worth of goodies for the mew. I bought the storm door and a couple of other small items, so I will be busy again trying to get this stuff in order. Not today though as I'm going to the vet to get my bird coped and a booster for the WNV. ;D
