It would be nice to have a finished photo (as the article refers to "in progress"). As well as an update on how well this coop has worn now that it's a few years old.
This looks like it was built well but I wish some additional details had been included in the article (cost, things wish done differently, etc.). It would also be nice to have a photo or two of the inside.
It would be helpful if more details were included in how this coop was built, approximate cost, maybe more actual pictures of it being built. Still not sure how the division between the two sides works? Looks nicely built, would be nice to have an update on it.
With just a couple of changes, this would be a terrific backyard coop. I would use a smaller mesh welded wire for where the 2x4" wire is. If the run were as tall as the coop, cleaning it (or picking up a chicken) would be easier. Also, the roosts should be changed out to flat boards so when the birds roost, their feet are covered by their bodies.
Overall, a pretty good coop for someone that said they had no building experience!
