    That's a good idea too! Like shutters, hopefully they won't break though, we got fiberglass panels, like you would use for a greenhouse.

    @MeepBeep That's basically what we're doing, except the windows will be attached all year round. We basically live in a wind tunnel, in the middle of a bunch of farm land, so ability to block some if the wind will be important. Hopefully between the sunlight and the wind I can find a...

    The open upper half of these walls will be windows. Do any of you have input as to whether that might be to much light? I had never thought of that, until my dad mentioned it today.

    Haha, yes we have a pretty big yard. The concrete slab was a chicken house in a former life. The farm is my husband's family estate, they used to do cows and chickens, switched to cash crops in the early 90s. I'm the crazy one wanting to bring chickens back. Next year I'm gonna try for...

    I've never heard of ZORO, but I'm glad I have now! I'm probably going to get mine through menards, it's a pretty good sale right now, and we have a store 20 minutes away. I heard through the grapevine, (the guy working in lumber, we've spent A LOT of time at menards this week) that they're...
