Well, after spending the winter months combing through many threads on BYC, I finally came across "what do you like best about your coop?" Then on March 1st, still fighting frost and lots more snow to come, I began to build "Le Palais de Poulet" and it is etched into the window on the "dutch"...

Would this whole "exercise" be called Chicken Boot Camp. OR the title of the next novel "Fun in the Sun, Building the Run" just askin' Beautiful job on the Hex o Coop. Mine is almost done, only has 3 sides. (4th was pre-existing)

Latex or water based paint comes off pretty well with just a little scrubbing, but more warm water and soap. Oil based paints will come off with paint thinner if they haven't had a chance to cure (8hours) or accelerated bu being in the sun. Paint thinner can blister fair skin and should be...

My guess is, you will take notice of the beauty of what you've created, out of an "old tear down shed", every day for some time to come. You've built a tribute to your Grand dad (and yourself) that will stand another 100 years. what a pretty thing! This is to the eye, what fine cognac is...

How cold does it get? Chickens do O.K. between 80 & 20 F without remedy. But I'll bet you have high humidity. I would simply block off the tri-angles and i would do that as more wall, on the outside. The windows will be enough ventilation, they're adjustable anyway, and if not then put a window...

WE ARE GOING TO GET YOU A pink HARDHAT, A CLIPBOARD AND SOME MIRRORED SUNGLASSES!! Get yourself incorporated as "BUILDER BABE INC." Get out of the way EVERYBODY ..... here she comes "THE HAMMER".

I'm looking out my window thinking about trying to get the roof on my coop, and it's started to snow.... AGAIN. Doesn't ammount to much but sure puts a damper on my attitude.

Don't forget to cover the foam with some sort of hard surface, maybe just masonite. Chickens will peck away at the foam and may eat it.

You are living proof of "I think I can, I think I can" and your chickens are kiving in the evidence. BUT, we've decided you deserve Champagne not wine, .... SALUD!!

You can buy a "metal cut off blade" anywhere. they fit your skil saw. they have no teeth, create lots of sparks, especially around piles of dry sawdust. $6 last forever. hard to keep in line. Wear EAR protection. for plastic corrugated panels one can use a "wood" skill saw blade, with as many...

The fake flowers are more shiny and last longer (and u don't have to water 'em) one more time: the one thing you're missing is ......THE WINE. You certainly deserve it... what a MAGNIFICENT COOP

If you had a sawzall (or buy a $20 one @ harbor frt.) Cut most of the nails, pry it apart, stack it on a trailer, AND REMEMBER it's only a chicken coop.

Best way to clean a coop? ......Beat your children until their attitude improves, and then make them clean the coop OR NO EGGS FOR BREAKFAST.

Seems like someone u know must have a riggin' you could borrow (buy gas, promise 'em eggs) unless u live in Manhattan There is often "for hire" movers in the local "nickels worth" style classifieds. I know for a fact if you promise the defensive line of a local college football team a keg of...

Cowboy mounted shooting I'm so glad ours are grown and gone. (We're going to use the chickens as surrogate kids.) No more motorcycles, fast cars, dislocated shoulders, etc. etc.

BUT real men have to have multiple horse power AND the GRRR noise. We are sooo predictable, (and we use hyphenated words when we hit our thumb with a hammer) . What could be better? What more could you girls possibly want?

HOOOORAAAYYY !!!!!

Please pause for just one minute before you stain/ paint this wood that has so much character. Painted, it will always be just red or white or green boards. Left as is,(and treated with tung or teak oil) it will be "Cypress from my grandfathers mill" very nice indeed. you have reason to be proud.

Quote: Yes that's the idea alright, but the reality is "water is the enemy", what about dampness form underneath. I just don't want to see you build anything you're going to have to re-build in a few years. The whole structure sits on the floor. I forgot to mention that I'm using 5/8" plywood...
