New Racing Loft       

 6/27/03, I started on the new Racing Loft.  It will look just like my "Starter Loft" only bigger.  It will be 8 by 40 feet.  An OB section on the left with 24 nest boxes, a YB section on the right with 72 perches.  I need to finish this loft before we move to house the birds while I am building the new Breeding Loft.  Both lofts will be built on concrete slabs with in floor hot water radiant heat.

Here it is, All Done

Inside the OB loft, two sections of 12 nest boxes each.  Still need to add nest box fronts.
