So, with all the help received on my previous post, I’ve decided to:
1) build instead of repurpose a shed
2) utilize a dirt floor
3) use blackjack 57 on buried corner posts a up a foot inside and outside all the walls to protect wood from the wet ground.
So I’ll attach my horrible little sketches. I’m planning on an 8x8 foot print, 4x4 corner posts, sloped roof from front to back. Considering using a/c vents at top of each wall allowing full ventilation in summer, with ability to shut down the ones getting cold wind on winter nights. Front wall with door and window I can prop open.
What I could really use some help with, is the framing. I built a decent 4x8 coop off the ground at our last house that worked for six years strong. But this is a bigger project and I want proper framing.
The entirety of my knowledge is that studs should be 16” apart, lol. Money is tight, so I’m concerned with learning costly lessons during the build. So if we have any carpentry professionals that might be able to give me a quick framing layout, I would be forever thankful for the help!!!
