Just thought I'd share. The foot print is 8x8, the tallest wall is 5' 5", I am 5' 0" so it's tall enough for me to stand comfortably. The shortest wall is a hair above 36". This will be the turkey house for the next month until they're sent to freezer camp, then the girls will move in.
It will have two egg doors, two doors out to the run area, a large door for me to clean the run and a door for me to enter the coop.
I am going to lay down some sheet vinyl on both the coop floor and the run, the run will have sand the coop will be leaves and shavings.
The angled board at the corner was used to keep it square.
Floor is done.
Time for a wall
Today, roof sheathing is up, walls are done.
Just need to finish the roof, make the doors and finish one section of fencing. I may go over the garden fence with chicken wire just to keep them from sticking their heads through.
That's how it stands now, I am going to toss a tarp over the roof and hope for the best with Sandy moving through in a few days and I'm not going to have a chance to work on it again before then.
