Have the run just about done, attaching welded wire to the roof today. Took a break from that to get more coffee and post these. The building is an 8x10 metal shed kit from Lowes. We cut holes in it for windows, framing them out on both sides. Surprisingly sturdy!
Insulating with foam board, covered in cheap wood panels. Caulked in the corners (not done yet). The kit came with metal rails to screw the plywood flooring to. I'm still debating on if I want to cover the plywood or not. Still debating on paint on the inside walls to brighten it up.
More window cut outs to do yet. We're thinking two on either side of the top front, since we can't with how the door are. Or scrapping the doors it came with and framing out for swing doors that open out, that are open on the top with mesh and solid on the bottom, or one each. There's going to be a "heated corner" that's like a coop within the coop, where I can pop a light on if it drops below 0 or something and not have to heat the whole thing.
But here's where we're at so far....
Inside partially done...
