Wondering how much time, skill and resources the OP has for building the coop?
It can take a long time to build a coop, especially if you don't have any building experience, and a fair amount of money.
Living where you do you need to make darn sure you can get it built and winterized before that snow flies...keep in mind shoveling access out to the coop, managing snow load on top of it and windbreaks in the run and ventilation in the coop.
If you can pull off the build project, then go for it now. The witchita is nice design but kind of small, modify it to be larger!
(oh BTW the dust will cover your washer and dryer)
Best of luck to ya!
