We started our chicken coop yesterday. We only had a small list of items to build it. A saw, an electric drill, lumber, a measuring tape, a marker pen, concrete 4x4 footers, and screws. Thankfully I married a math man who figured all measurements and design! I sure as hell couldn't do it. I would've ended up redneckin' it.
This is what it looked like at the beginning of the day (all lumber from Home Depot scrap box, totaling around 75.00, though we have WAY more then enough lumber!)
My handsome husband and youngest child, my son, building the floor! This was a perfect family project!
This is what it looked like at days end (my poor hunny had to leave for work right after I took this pic, night shifter at Intel). We still have the walls, windows, roof, fill in the flooring, list goes on... but we are getting there! My husband is 6'2 tall, so this is one tall coop! This is our very first building project, and we had no idea what we were doing. We just winged it (that is why I give all credit to my very smart husband! LOL). This coop is made with lots of love
