    I had HWC to begin with and took it off...too rigid for opening up on front and always left me bleeding. It's the 2 sides there that need something I just am not sure what. I thought the 1x2s would help but...still a gap. But I must be able to get into the front side each day.

Then Polish since he luvs flying (and if and when I get a couple more chicks that are either polish or Orrington, then they could use addition piece which would...
