Well, an issue came across today of size of the loft I would like to build. Now my mother knows my plans for an 8 x 4 and was completely agreeing with it till of course someone against the whole idea started talking so she said to me "build something small to see if you like the whole idea" lol... i thought 8 x 4 was small I have all these guys with HUGE lofts which can be discouraging and I thought that was a good size for me. My point of view on the matter is it will cost me like 150$ to build a small 3 x 3 loft that I can't stand in... how can anyone enjoy a hobby like that without being able to stand in there and handle the birds? Anyways I live in a neighborhood community (but theres no ordinance against pigeons or anything like that I already checked) and shes worried that they'll be pooping all over the roof and neighbors roofs and is worried they'll start complaining, I plan on just training them and not loft flying them so that shouldn't be an issue right? after flying 20+ miles I would think they have pooped somewhere else, plus the fact that they are supposed to be flying on empty stomaches. So, is my mother correct should I build a smaller loft to see if I like racing, etc. or argue my 8 x 4 loft plan idea?
Thanks A Ton,

P.S. Considering I do live in a neighborhood I have about 2 acres though, and I do not plan on getting a bigger loft 8 x 4 but might add on 3ft to it. So keep in mind I will never have something huge.
