    Woods Open Air Coop Design - Amish Built

    Yes, but for thermal dynamics it’s not supposed to be symmetrical. It’s your coop so have it built however you want. But it’s not supposed to be symmetric. I’m getting ready to build one myself. The windows on the other side is not even with the side of the door.

    Can this marriage be saved?

    Is “Dorothy” really a “Dan”!?

    Anyone keeping chickens secret from a HomeOwners Association?

    Yes, I didn't mean to imply that the rules didn't apply, I was just wondering about HOA in a non-tract home situation. The original intent of allow them to make rules for areas was for close proximity. If you aren't in close then why was it formed. There could be rules for non- compliance as...

    Anyone keeping chickens secret from a HomeOwners Association?
