Well folks, Here it is so far for those of you that wanted to see more photos. Didn't get to work on it yesterday due to B-Day part for one of the grand kids. Started late today, but got alot done. Got a great deal on flooring from Lowes...7' x 12' of very heavy duty sheet goods for $13.50....was end of roll and kid knocked alot off the sq. ft. price. Awesome..so I got that in , then did a metal threshold at front door and "coop cleanout door" on side. Installed the chains to hold up nest box doors...built, painted and hung front door.....finished hardware cloth over vent openings on left side of coop and soffit installed as well. Wife put down the shavings and we moved the babies in. They were outgrowing the brooder, so we had to move them into their new pad. They love it. Still have to finish the nest boxes, roost, poop trays and run area.....but that will be a breeze. Be done by nest weekend I hope. Hope ya enjoy the photos.

Wow! If your wife decides she doesnt want it any more, send it up here to NY! I will not let my silkies see these pics as they will think they are living in the slums! Nice Job!
