UPDATE (including photos uploaded on website):
Got the rough wiring done, a 100 amp breaker panel installed, light boxes and outlet boxes in the chicken coop area. Picked up the metal roofing material and installed one section today before the temps hit the mid-90's, then I worked for another couple of hours on the interior. Decided to go inside in the afternoon, with the humidity at about 105%
and high temps, there's no reason to be working in that condition.
Going to pickup materials at Lowe's in a few minutes, gutters, trim boards and primer.
If it cools off some this evening, I'm going to go back out and try to finish the siding on the over-hangs and the section between the two roof lines. Tomorrow morning I'll install the nursery/storage room roof and start working on trimming out the building so I can focus on the install and building the run.
List of items:
Trim out exterior
Build run area
Install exterior door
Build run doors and coop doors
Build clean out door
Cut and install Styrofoam in North and West walls.
Panel chicken coop walls
Prime and paint chicken coop area
Trench electrical feed from house to building and run both electrical and water to the coop.
Build vent doors
Install gutters
Go fishing!
