Altered children’s playhouse for bantams

Concise but clear, and very convincing to show that it can be quite simple and worth it to change a small shed into a coop. It makes me almost wish we had done that for our small coop instead of building from scratch.
I do have two questions : did you use a wood stapler or just hardware staples that are hammered in ? And, is it not too annoying to clean the back of the coop since it's not human sized, so I suppose you can't just walk in ?

I used a wood stapler to attach the hwc.

This playhouse is really small. I can’t stand in it. But I have a system to clean it out easily. I put 2 pieces of cardboard on the floor (2 unfolded wine cartons). I have a garden kneel mat I put in front of the door opening. fold the dirty cardboard to the center and pull it out. If any dirt is left behind I use a small shovel to get this out too. If the floor is clean, I add new unfolded cartons to cover the perspex floor. Add a little bedding and its ready.
A very clear and informative article. In particular, i like that it clearly stated a mistake made, which gave me a lot of confidence in the article's authenticity. This level of detail is rarely provided even though it's highly valuable for inexperienced people to learn from.

Simple guide to modification of a playhouse. The page about the prefab seems kind of out of place, however.

Looks great and much better than prefabricated coops.

Apologies if this is a repeat. My screen blinked. I think the article is very well done. The explanation is easy to follow and the pictures help a lot.
I also like that mistakes are pointed out so others can learn.
Good job!
