    Go for it...but make sure you kill them too.

    Exactly ....but it's hard not to try to stem the tide.

    Any galvanized wire cuts get especially irritated due to the chemicals used in processing. Those chemicals are good reason to wash hands thoroughly after working with it then eating too. I have had some nasty cuts/scratches from heavier fencing, they take some time to heal up for sure. Didn't...

    Maybe as far as the coop paint job, yes ;) But the avatar fox shows you obviously have talent. That fox has always intrigued me, as it's beautiful and the fox is my spirit animal. Did you ever finish coloring it? Tho I like it just as it is....represents transformation.

    I wouldn't worry about sanding it own to 'bare wood' just get anything loose off. Piece of flexible rubber over the hinge area.... ..or if canopy is water proof, night not need to do anything with the roof.

    Fantastic Progress!! I'm so excited for you! Lived in FL for a short while, bought a cool old console tube radio, brought it inside and opened the back.....dozens of HUGE ROACHES EVERYWHERE!! <shudders> Another good reason to back to live up north ;) :oops:

    They might make a great fire pit(like next winter).....if you're into that.

    On the inside or outside? Outside wouldn't do to much to deter diggers and wall mesh is already well braced with the build up of soil. Inside would keep the birds from digging down along the run wall(mine do that) and they'll be covered with deep litter so you wouldn't see any of the 'stupid...

    Communication can be tricky online. Looks like you're going great guns!

    Divider wall was where blue line is? I thought the space to the left of line was not going to be used,' why I was suggesting using that roof wood. :th

    Yep, one or two spaced evenly between existing rafters. Putting them on top would be easier to do by yourself for sure. You'd need pieces longer than the 8' spans, unless you used several shorter pieces put across corners. Just toss them up there and use screws and washers to attach mesh to...

    It could work, I actually did it on my small run to hold up against snow load, but I didn't have wooden framework to screw a rafter into. It would be 'easier' and more effective to put the rafters under the wire....and it would 'look' better.

    Great diagram....am rushed right now so won't attempt to reply, but have ideas and instruction.

    No, you explained it well...made sense to me. Hope I can make sense to you too. The lattice is not going to be stiff across that span, it too will sag. Lattice added to mesh will not shed those needles, it may just make them harder to remove and trap them between mesh and lattice. You'd be...

    Analysis Paralysis. BTDT...like almost every day. It's 'complicated' because there are always so many options and choices..easy to get stuck in the decision spiral. When I start spinning, I engage in one simple task to break the cycle(for awhile anyway haha!) Those clear or semi-opaque...
