Hey, Nifty! What's the possibility of getting this up and going again. I don't know if ChrystalGail is willing to give it another go or if someone else wants too.
Sandra & her Cochins :
oh wow that's our coop to... Oh dear I really need to catch up my english reading haha maybe ask my brother to translate some things for me . Do I need to do something in this topic like more foto's or ....a little picture story how we made the coop?
Your english is fine...
Go ahead and laugh!! I was actually thinking about building a coop from concrete block!!!
Sink them down one block on top of a strip of hardware cloth. Fill the all blocks with sand for insulation We used to have a storage room where I worked in the mts built like this. Kept fruits & veggies...
I was going to use plywood on my modified playhouse but it was sooooo heavy with the really heavy coop as it is.
I found lightweight metal roofing at Lowe's for less than $8 for a 2.5ft X 8ft sheet. For this "mod" that I made it's going to take one sheet. That is IF I get the peak right!
Well, in a failed attempt to put a peak on the roof of my coop which is taking forever to build!! I'm thinking we need something that that doesn't have a lot of mitered corners and such. Gables, Gussets and Trusses just aren't my thing!! Too many angle and measurements that could go wrong...
Ooooh, that looks easy enough!
Saw this one to when I was wandering. Looks really solid and maybe not tooooooo complicated
Ooops! Fogot the link

We need something for the "Building Impaired", the "Powertool Pitiful", and the "Math Challeged" so we don't come up with something out of Dr. Seuss.
