I asked my husband (who is a props artisan for our local playhouse) to help me with building a chicken coop. After scrapping many sets up plans, I thought we had settled on a simple 6x8 shed with a slanted roof. Then he had a bout with insomnia and spent the night researching playhouses for our kids. Well, too much time and an overly creative carpenter can make for interesting. He decided he wanted to build a wonky playhouse for the boys and is using my coop as a prototype. Here is the progress so far: DAY 1 Supports 
Subfloor 
Linoleum 
Back wall 
Front wall with door and window 
Side wall with window 
Other side with window 
And a bonus picture of my great pyrenees, Nanuk, watching over a pair of 5 week old Swedish flower hens.

If we had built a regular shed I would probably be painting it by now. As it is after a couple trips of trips to the hardware store and much swearing and throwing of hammers, we finally got some of the roof supports up. Hoping to finish the trusses today and start the siding. DAY 2
