Was wondering same....longer to dry and might not cure well if temps are too low.Very nice. The build is coming along nicely. It is impressive watching you two build that in that weather. Warm huh. Today was 72 and I was sweating when I was in the sun. I'm also curious as to how long that stain takes to dry. I use a lot of Sikkens and have always waited for warmer days.

Looks great!..... the roof is on!!!
Things I learned from this weekend:
1. The screws that come with the metal roofs are too long and will stick out into the coop and run and will be a huge project to try to snip off the points? Any suggestions?
2. We tried 3 methods of cutting the metal roof jigsaw (broke the blade), Dremmel with metal cutting blade (both battery packs died too quickly), and finally we used a circular saw with the blade turned backwards (cut it like butter)
3. When cutting metal roofing use eye and ear protection. It's crazy loud and little pieces of sharp metal go everywhere. The neighbors have no doubt something is going on over here.
4. If possible stain your wood ahead of time. That way you can paint in a comfortable position. I could not do this because the weather was just too cold for staining prior to this weekend. But is is body breaking to paint looking up and on a ladder or lying on the ground on your back painting the underside of the coop etc.
I'd use the dremel and a heavy cut off blade...I do this all the time with too long screws and bolts.
