Looking good !
snOwwhite! How did I not see this fun thread earlier on your beautiful blue coop?! It's fantastic.
Fun Fall project for you. Been tinkering with mine this fall too.
For cutting my tin roof I used a skill saw with the wood blade turned backwards (use ear plugs--super loud!) But works slicker than slick.
Was scared the first time I did though...that's for sure.
I used to have high roosts for my chickens....they loved it...but in the winter it's no good. Broken toes frostbite and fall off in the spring. It's a mess you don't want to deal with. Trust me. Especially for your standard breeds you have there. They are just heavy enough that if they land wrong or catch the door jam of the pop door they will break a toe. They're also more predisposed to bumble foot too. 18" is recommended for good reasons...I found out.

What if the nest boxes run east and west??......I read in another thread that hens tend to lay in the northern most nest .....
