I have a few minor finishing things I need to do, but most of the hard labor is done. My hands are bleeding, I broke a nail on my big toe (don't ask LOL,) and almost died of heatstroke. BUT, any predators that want my birds will have a run for their money. No chicken housing will ever be completely proofed but I believe this to be pretty adequate. I've never used HWM higher than 3 feet on the sides and haven't had any problems but guess we'll see.
The things I have left are putting HWM over the windows, putting wire cage clips to fortify the zip ties, and inserting some heavy duty ground stakes for the ground HWM. I'm installing a forced air sealed motor fan with auto closure like I've used before. It's hotter than hell right now, 100 during the day and not much better at night. Going to put in a few more vents at the top as well.

HWM=Hardware Mesh. I should have just spelled it out.
