Cattle Panel Question

Yup 4 x 8 sheets of siding for the front hoop wall(needs a better name), plus the bottom half of the original coop walls.

Makes sense to me, now...brain is tangled this morn.
'The original coop walls' is what I missed, couldn't figure why you needed so much for end of hoop.

Well but I knew what I meant.

Got one end wall framing and siding up. Windows figured out for the original coop wall, have to take the clear panels down to frame for the door as they are in the way. Not an evening project at roosting time with a batch of 3 week old babies in there also.

Was just wondering about this...looking good!

Weather has been vile. Finally cleared, 39 here.

Long long day. I'm scarfing pizza down right now, didn't stop to eat all day.
Before

Removed the clear polycarb panels. They were poorly installed in a storm as I needed things closed up fast anyway. Tore out all the hardware cloth and chicken wire from that wall. Ripped off the assorted planks then framing.

Nothing is level, nothing is even close. Had to constantly decide which crooked to go with. Siding going up. Measure 4x cut 6x.

Barn loft finds

Better get cracking the Easter Eggers fly good! Weird lighting in that pic, looks like I photoshopped that psycho bird in!

3 windows attached to lightweight framing.

In! Simple installation right on the siding.

Top hinged. Might look nice enough once painted.

Tomorrow I'll either frame and install the door into the hoop or finish the siding on the other side. Or I'll nap.

Way to GO Girl!!

(motrin after pizza then hot shower....
....and motrin for breakfast tomorrow too-before more work or nap)

The light inside the coop is even better with actual glass. That window section is about 30x100" and starts around 42" up from the concrete so it's a big clear view out. I might move in. My house doesn't get that kind of light!

I might go big and make it an Aleve morning lol.

Back sun side wall. Needs a little final tweaking but it's hardware cloth. Works.

Door framed and installed.

Just one wall, electric wire, and anti dig mats to go then it's chicken ready.
