Oops, I meant thank you DavidR!! Davaroo is that other guy with the helpful advice

Oh, thank you both!! OK, see I never thought of pliers, ha! Davaroo, that's a nice run. Is that a Junior Roost in there? I'll work on the pliers and let DH do the wood strips in his "free" time. thanks again!

OK, simple question, but we non-builder types can't figure it out: What do I use to cover the edge of the chicken wire? I'm talking about where we cut the wire at a corner and stapled it on the posts-- the corner posts in our run are 4x4s, and the wire is bending up on all corners, especially...

OK, I'm an RN, worked in Rehab, had a Therapy Dog, and still had NO IDEA that a small dog, such as a Chihuahua could be a SD!! See, I really do learn something new on here every time I come on But, now that I think about it, of course there would be situations where they would work...

Here is my beautiful heart-of-gold dog, Princess Winifred the Wonder Dog! Sadly, she died in January exactly one month after these pictures were taken. She was almost 12 and my first baby! She left a huge hole in our family... Here she is looking gorgeous while searching for hawks...

That is very nice! I'm always impressed by the people on here who can just think up something and then build it. Not me, I have to pay someone else to do it.

OOh, very nice! When we come down to visit the Grandparents in Cullowhee, I'll wave as I go by

OK, I love the picture!! My former 3 yr old is now 5 yrs old--he's up to different tricks now. Sometimes he gets up early before anyone else and helps himself to his own special breakfasts: marshmallow sandwiches, Hersheys syrup, whatever strikes his fancy. if it's sweet he'll find it. When...

My friend's run is 2 x 4 welded wire and no top. She lives in a more rural area than us, right next to a cornfield with plenty of hawks. And She's never lost a hen to a hawk or raccoon! I look at her run and just can't believe it. We have chicken wire top and bottom and hardware cloth around...

My own special rule, as told to my DH today in a loving voice: "MIKE, PUT YOUR EARPLUGS IN!!" I nag because I love him

WOW!! I had no idea I could use staples or tape or no glue at all. DH says glue is necessary, that glue gun is easy enough. NO way I could smear it with a trowel and get the piece in by myself Thank you all so much--OK, tomorrow is the day. Once again, I am sooo HAPPY I joined up here! I...

Oh yes, it's actually vinyl in a large sheet like your picture, thank you! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to lay the sheet before the glue dried. It looks easy enough, just haven't done it before . And the label says I can cut it with scissors!!

I will personally call you tomorrow am when my kids get up to remind you to fill the sugar bowl. About 7. Anything I can do to help!!

DH is out of town and I need to get this done, because my chicks are crowded Is it possible for me to lay this by myself? Do I need two people? Can I put the glue down and get the vinyl down before it drys all by myself? The floor is only 8 x 6. Oh, and the coop is already done--yeah I...

OK, since no one else seemed to notice I guess I have to: You did that in FOUR WEEKENDS!?!? WOW!!!! That is nothing short of miraculous!! It's so cute and it would have taken us about fourteen weekends at our pace. It looks like you hired a professional carpenter
