I posted a few weeks ago regarding possible options to house our chickens at our new abode. We determined that it would be best to section off part of the existing shed and modify it to house our lovely ladies. These are the primitive plans I've come up with. I just sketched up something quick in AutoCAD, so please don't judge the draftsman skills Anyways, from what I can think of, I've made up a shopping list to go off of, as we'll need to get this done as quickly as possible to move our ladies from my parents' house to their new digs. Here's what I've come up with for a list so far:
Am I missing something? It seems like such a short list but for the life of me I can't think. We have plenty of nails from building our coop at our old house, so I don't know that we'll need to buy more of those. Thoughts on either my list (too much/little of something, completely forgot something) or the floor plan I have laid out for the section of the shed for my coop?
- 3 - 1"x2"x8' Furring strips - Framing around pop door and nesting box drop door, ramp rungs for pop door
- 5 - 3"x3" hinges - Pop door, nesting box drop door
- 1 - Storm door
- 6 - 5/8"x4'x8' OSB panels for wall sheathing, scrap for ramps in/out of pop door
- 25 - 2"x3" studs for framing
- 10 - 3/8"x3" concrete anchors to anchor wall to existing concrete floor
