brick? concrete block?

Hey, that's a good idea!

I still don't believe that much hosing is necessary or desirable but if a person IS looking for a plastic material to line the coop with, that sounds like one to seriously consider and price.

The Woods-Style chicken house is an open air design. There's specific mathematics in it's design, though, and I'll need a real mason to get it right, with bricks, stone and concrete in different measurements than wood. I'm thinking for the top venting windows, there used to be glass brick bathroom windows from the 1950's that I'd have to find that have a dialed, screened levelor vent built in. And the front of the open air, will need to be a decorative (moorish?) metal grate instead of wooden framed hardware cloth. I'll be needing to visit flea markets and old falling-down churches to rummage through for the stone and metal, I think.

Chickens really bring out the creative muse, eh?

The *expensive* muse anyhow... built at 10x20' or so, I am going to guess maybe $20-25,000 for what you describe above. Seriously. Masonry buildings are not cheap in the slightest, especially when you want fancy
