That's my handsome carpenter hard at work! Most of our design ideas came from the Witchita Cabin Coop, but of course we are partial being that we are in Missouri! Thanks to the baldassari family for sharing your coop, I have seen it's design duplicated on this site a few times, and it's a tribute to how awesome of a design it really is!
This is old cedar planking from a demolished playground set. We bought this off of craigslist for $100, and it will be the exterior trim to the coop itself. This cedar really takes the stain beautifully after the old stain is sanded off... Don't worry, this is the exterior, the chickens will have no contact with this from inside of the coop, we are going to insulate!
One day of construction has brought us so far!
We bought this wood off of Craigslist, used construction bracing. It was $50 for all of this, but they are not treated so we need to stain and seal!
We tried to involve all five kids when ever we could so they could learn from this experience just like us!
Sand.. and sand... and sand... it's never ending!
