Building a Better Coop - Twisted S Ranch

[chad7757]

Thank you it's a labor of love. I hope these chicks can appreciate. The wire is not cooperating much, hopefully will make some progress in the couple days.

I don't know if the chickens will appreciate it, but you sure will! I love having a big walk in coop. Easy to get in and out, easy to clean when the time comes, and I have lots of flexibility about how many birds I can house

.

Update: Today's progress. 12-26-15

I got the wire all done! What a chore. I am glad there is no more of that. Stretching it to keep it tight isn't the easiest thing to do, but once you figure it out it's not so bad. I used small finish nails to get all the corners tight and then went back and filled in with staples.

I covered all the staples and seams with 2x4s to make it look clean and lock everything together.

Cut the piece for the egg box door and temp screwed it in place. Hopefully I will get all the hinges done tomorrow.
