- First of all, HUGE thanks to strawberryhousemouse for her beautiful design
I fell in love with her coop as soon as I saw it. Copied her pretty much 100% - thanks so much for the lovely addition to our backyard!
Here is the coop at the end of day 2:
The run floor is 4' x 16" long, and the coop is 4x8.
Day 1 consisted of me (yes, me - alone - a female with a bad back) going to home depot and buying all the wood, bringing it home & painting it all. It was a loooooong, painful day. And I broke a nail.
Here is the list - hopefully this will save you some time - you can just click on the item and add it to your home depot shopping list. Then if you bring the list and bat your eyes (ladies only), they MAY help you find everything, and help you load it. But be careful you don't mess up your manicure in the process ha ha

- (in the "what was I thinking" department: I bought the 12' panels to save money - "I can just cut them in half and I'll have less waste" Well the Home Depot guys wouldn't cut it on site so I had to hang it 5 feet out the back of my van, flag it, and drive home with my flashers on hoping I didn't get pulled over...)
