Thank you so much for that information. I love the wood look, fiance doesn't really care for it though. But I am more concerned about the high heat through the summer days here and destroying the paint.
Thank you, now here is a big question, since it seems that the people at my HomeDepot in the paint department seem to be inept at answering questions like what sealer is safe for animals, What brand did you use?
@iwiw60 Thank you first of all. The roof is going to overhang the nest box about 4 inches, however I am still undecided whether I want to make the nest box top accessible or back side accessible. If I go with the back side accessible option, I can always add flashing on the angle, but if I go...
Thank you :). No it's not modeled after my house. It was just something I drew up one night when I was trying to think of how it should look and that is the one that looked basic enough yet a little stylish I guess. The doors are working great, they are not that heavy.
I am in the midst of building my first chicken coop, in fact building my first anything actually. The main house is 6' x 4' x 5', the nest boxes are 14" deep x 14" wide x 17" height at apex and 9" at end.
What do you think, and any suggestions or complaints?
The raised foundation...
