You keep me on my toes! Haha. Yep, will paint that today. Since I had to rip all the battons as well, I need to paint the sides of those.

I need to start posting low-res pictures hahahahahaha.

Haha! Sorry, was trained and worked to look for that stuff for a couple decades.

Here's today's update- got the front on! I think this officially puts me on Day 10.

Need to figure out what to do above the front door there... big open space. Maybe a coop sign. Was also thinking of doing a little sign that said all the inhabitants and their names and possibly year added. Nothing elaborate, but I could kind of use a stencil and use a color that was close to their color. Would add an interesting element.

That would be very cute. Or just a welcome sign, or painted artwork of a chicken.

Really looking forward to the end product!

I would make an awesome chicken coop name sign.. Kind of like a cafe sign. That coop is stunning!

Maybe another window?
Windows look glazed, do they open?

These are windows I reclaimed from an old house. I am leaving them stationary. They are 75% for looks of course, but I actually use them to do flock checks at night when I close up the coop as well (I have one on my other coop) and they don't seem to bother the birds at all. I was going to put one in the back but decided against it. Reconsidering.

You're going to have some(lots) operable windows for summer ventilation.
Hot in NC!

Beautiful build. Very creative.
I'm preparing to build a coop this weekend. I'll be happy if the walls stand up and the floor doesn't cave in.
