The prices must be truly frightening for those thinking about add-on construction.
I read that the beer industry is facing a shortage of aluminum for cans. Let’s hope all those aluminum framed bird cages being built don’t result in the price of beer going way up. What good is having a bird cage if you can’t afford to crack a couple of beers while hanging out in it?
