Amish-made. Already want a bigger one!

Got this coop built by local Amish for a reasonable price. Can walk in to clean and scoop poo, has 4 nest boxes, two windows with screens that can be closed/locked and a pop door. Came unpainted.
Since getting it we built a run, added two roosts to the one already there, added 3 pvc feeders, filled it with sand and painted it red.
I still want to paint the trim white, get some cover for the run and open the nest boxes once the girls get a little bigger! I’m also planning to link their run to our nearby garden in the fall to let them dig up all the old plants for us!!!

Since this is a prefab coop, it's hard to provide details like materials and measured drawings for it. It would be helpful to have them for the run so folks have an idea of what to look for when shopping materials for their own runs. Some photos of that as well would be nice.
Really nice coop, but little information on how to get one.
Really nice looking coop. It looks like it might need more ventilation.

Thanks for the suggestion! It’s open under the eaves and I also drilled some holes up there and covered them with wire. So far this fall it been great even with the windows closed!

Love your coop. We got a mennonite made one locally, already painted. It's not a walk in (though I wish it was - pretty pricey the bigger ones), but small enough to get to the farthest corners to clean out with a broom. We covered the top of their run with hardware cloth and put some tin roofing over a third of it for shade and cover in the winter. What type of sand are you using?
