No, not sure I would.

It might be summer by the time I get completely done.

I feel the same way about mine. I won't enter mine until I get the siding on and painted.

looks good... Wish I wasn't so darn lazy and content with bare minimums...

I love the nice deep red color you choose for the siding. Looking good.

Fantastic!! I love the design. Did you write up the design or did you buy it? I want to know because I would like to buy a copy. It's really nice. Will it be insulated? You spoke of 12 inches of snow. We just got 14 inches yesterday. We insulated ours and I heat it when it's below 10 degrees. I really like the window design. Wow that's a nice building.

Thanks....

No it isn't a bought design, it all materialized in the grey matter between my ears.....

Been some folks telling me I should make plans of it and sell it. When I joined on this forum I said I hoped to contribute something. Since I knew little (and still know little) about chickens the good folks here helped me stumble along the way......so this is my contribution back to the forum. What's the saying "Paying something forward".

Anyone can glean the info and pics to make one of their own. I know Buster is making something close and a couple others are talking about making one.......so I am paid in full by being able to help someone else.

Not sure on insulating yet....I may be broke by then.

Sorry folks, between other distractions I didn't get much siding on today.

Maybe tomorrow.

That's a great hen house. I'm hoping to build a nice hen house next year. Right now a free coop's got to do the job.
