Barn owl pair have moved in upstairs, screechin / hissing thier heads off, scared the crap out of me.... eaves are not closed in yet etc.
Staircase has a baord against it so dogs dont go up there, in fact no one has been up there in over a month.
Im delighted, she will be nice and safe and warms a toast up there,
will move one of the cctv cams to get a better look at her, pics to follow.
We get plenty of tawney owls, having a shouting match every night, but not many barn owls.

Looking fwd to owletts in the spring

Fist time i ever heard a barn owl screechin, it happend about 5 ft from my head in norfolk in the woods at night, i thought it was Nosferatu in person in a tree.......nearly soiled my undercrackers.

SWA and consumer already fitted with TT rods (feed end still to be connected) so for now all on an extention reel, also got a Cat6 UG in there as well, so network ready. Using a Draytek WAP on reapter mode i now have Wifi in the garden and carport full strength! Noice

External is OSB, earth wool and plaster board, with vapour sheild.
Then I have build a stud room within a room so to speak, two stud walls fully insulated and PB on both sides, with a 50MM air gap between them. So three walls if you like. The rest will be sound absorbtion and deadending. I have two wooded fire doors back to back inside completing the 3 doors in the 3 skins.

Inital testing with drum kit and electrics guitar on full chat is perfect, muffled but not loud walk 50 feet away cant hear a thing!

Morning, would be interested in hearing the door supplier if you'd recommend them having now fitted it?
