The plywood was in all different shapes and sizes so after playing Tetris on the first level, I played another round and put on a second layer to give it more strength.
Now the roof. Given that I am building this by myself I thought it might be easier to build the roof/storage section on the ground and then raise it up later. I built the 2'x4 ceiling and rim joists then the center section. I did not attach them together as I figured it would be easier to put them up separately as well.
Yeah! Four walls are up. The front wall will have double doors for easy access to clean the floor. The wall on the left will have a window and 10 nesting boxes. The food and water systems will mount on the back wall.
This wall will have a door that goes to the run, a window and the chicken door/gate.

I scattered DE all around the perimeter and everywhere I could get it inside.
Used 2x4's for the rim and floor joists. Spaced out the joists 16" on center.
Here we have the 4'x6 pressure treated beams and PT 2x6's for the ends. I buried it in the ground to get it level as well as help keep critters from getting under it.
