    She is almost put together but here she is in her new home!! (Marty) is in my retreat off my bedroom and she fits perfectly!! I cannot wait to start using her (I changed her name from gracie because my husbands bird that I cannot stand (ok i hate her) shares the same name so Marty is my grandpas name!1))

    Congrats on Marty. I have a Hinterburg frame that I really like. I need to practice on it more though. As far as Gracie... I had a bird and I must agree with you in the end.... I hated it too. Lucky for me, i sold him to my boss (hee hee) and they got along great. :-D

    I have a Gracy frame too, and love it. Only mine was not such a good fit. My room is only 8' wide X 16', so I built a base for it to slide it to the wall when not using. I am also able to store supplies under it. I put 4 layers of varnish on the bottom with sliders. -- Enjoy!
