Hello, We had the same problem with possums so we started this company. PVC connectors - these can be just pushed onto pipe and covered with netting and secured with our snapclamps and problem fixed. We also have many options such as hinges so you can put a door or a lid on it. Please have a look at our website and have a look at our cage page for many ideas. These connectors are strong, versatile , not expensive and easy. www.klevercages.com.au An example of the framework we also have heavy duty netting on the site for possums.Hope this all helps. Please contact us if you need any further information. Robert Klever Cages www.klevercages.com.au www.facebook.com/klevercages

Being a Canuck I grew up with cable (my folks got it in the mid 60s) so when I arrived here I was a bit puzzled by the funny metal things on the roofs still being in existence. Everyone has cable in Canada (well, unless they're out in the boonies, in which case they've got satellite). Oh, and it really is "cable." I have no idea why, living here in a reasonable sized town, I have to have a satellite dish on the roof. In any case, as Blee says, it was attractive when it started because it gave you more channels (where I lived, there were two Canadian channels and a handful of American ones you could get with an antenna but when cable came in, the reception was far better and the number of channels much higher). It's got more specialized and more expensive over the years, but the cable companies (there are three major ones in Canada) long ago branched out into mobile and internet technology (which is why it's the cable companies, not the taxpayer, that are paying for all that fiber optic cable there) - so regardless of what the future brings, they'll probably be providing the infrastructure to deliver it.

Tell me about it, the ones across the road were going all day and night in the front yard, including revving up a motor bike they're not allowed to ride! my hubby wears flannie shirts when he's not in work gear. He likes ripping them, that's a trend that should end. of course, all Australian flag thongs (flip flops) are made in China!
