I love it and it's my favorite color too, baby blue. I would love the see the plans. It looks much bigger than 16x20. Mine is only 10x10 and still a work in progress. I didn't have any plans either and said I "just winged it" :)

Wxgurun isn't it fun?

same thing here and I wasn't going to buy a used antenna from the junk yard for that price and not know if it would work. I got mine new from ebay for $9.99 and $14.99 shipping. If I had known all this, I would have just used what I had already purchased, but me not knowing anything about...

the relay switch had a manual up/down lever .... I removed the wires from the relay and connected them to the timer. I guess I'm gonna have to hook up another relay switch and use a limit switch at the top of the door. I decided on the antenna because it would "be easier" than me having to...

does that wall slide underneath the nesting box? It looks like you used drawer slides, if so, that's a good idea

really nice pond. I'm sure it being in the ground and lined with cinder blocks helps to maintain the water temperature. Where are you going to find Malaysian freshwater prawns?

I'll just be glad to get everything finished. Shutting the door in the evenings is no problem, I just want them to be able to get out of the roost early in the mornings.

I've read that posts multiple times, but he's using 12v adapters and I don't have power at my coop or out building. I know nothing about amps, etc. or how long a battery will keep it's charge. Will I be recharging every day? Later, I would like to get a solar panel and would need the larger...

thanks, where's the link? BTW, I'm not a football fan, but I always pull for Auburn

I had previously bought the hardware to build an auto door with the relay switches, etc., but have since decided to use the power antenna. I purchased a Harada MQ1 Antenna Semi Automatic Antenna that is 12v. I also have a 12v timer. I've still got to buy a 12v battery, but I'm not sure what...

the video and audio is great .. I'd love something like that

I'm going to install an automatic door and have decided to use the antenna too. I have a motor and limit switches, but it's simpler with the antenna. What kind of solar system do you have set up? I don't have power in my coop or shed yet, so I've got to use batteries. Plus, I don't have to...

looks great, I know your grandpa would be proud. I have no idea how much I've spent trying to build mine myself, but it has been fun so far. LOL, one thing I've learned buying hardware online - you can buy just one. I buy at least 4-6 of everything, I figure I can use it somewhere down the line.

I like the rustic look of the fence posts. I can remember my daddy cutting down small pine trees and we'd skin them and use as rails
