Dog house coop, should I hinge the roof? How?

Date sort Score sort
Ice was wondering bow you made out with your roof. Having the Sam issue here. Only half way up and was planning a hinge but afraid of weather proofing. Thought the idea of inner tube or pan liner sounded like a great idea! What did you end up doing??
 
Finally finished my doghouse coop!

Love your coop! We just brought home a large doghouse from a Craigslist purchase! Was also thinking of adding the nestboxes to the outside to preserve inside floor space- how difficult was it to add the nest boxes? Do you have any plans/advice for adding one on? Luckily I have until Spring to work on this project! :)
 
Thanks! I have very little carpentry skills but found this diy build http://www.thegardencoop.com/blog/2011/03/10/external-nest-box-plans/. It was very helpful and pretty much followed step by step. I just took all the boards off the side of the doghouse. As for hinging the roof, I did that on the opposite side using a piano hinge and I found this black plastic used for patching ponds in the garden section of lowes. Worked great! Good luck. Make sure you update!
