i can tell you this is what prescription pain meds will do to you. i ended up flushing mine after only four days when i didn't recognize the image in the mirror.
close the window to the garage. the coops should be vented enought without it. the garage should also be ventilated when the heater is running. figure about one square foot per 30,000 btu's of output.
he wasn't within his rights to shoot the dogs. there was no active or pending attack at time he shot them and he blames the dogs for a previous incident when it could have been another animal. not the way to handle it. i think some people would rather pull a trigger than lay down some fence...
i would have built it with the people door outside the enclosed run.
i'm very happy i went with the outside nest boxes. i would have liked to cover the entire run with hardware cloth but could not justify the cost. i used kennel panels because i had them but i think a stick built structure...
i know how you feel but it's their bird. you should have just told them all the birds were gone. tell them how to fix the coop and run the right way.
i'll never understand why some people will use chain link for sides and then throw some lame plastic crap over the top expecting to use the run...
can't go wrong with raised beds and they look awsome as well. total control over soil conditions and creeping weeds not to mention irrigation. i recomend soaker hoses.
