Coop Build - Roof
At the time I was building the coop, the house you see in the below photo was in the process of changing owners and there was nobody yet in it. I had no idea what kind of neighbors I'd get, so I wanted to make the coop look pretty, just in case. I gave it a real nice roof with shingles and everything proper. Turns out, it made no difference and they were total a-holes, but oh well... I wanted it to be nice for us and our chickens, too.
I want to add a special thank you to the wonder that is YouTube. That's where I learned how to build roofs (among lots of other things).
Here are some rafters being cut:
And up in their places:
Roof deck:
I put fly rafters all along the rake edges, to support the overhang:
Fascia boards on the roof:
Tar paper:
Drip edge:
And the roof is done!
