Come Ramble With Me!

What's your question?

It’s kinda odd. How much (if you don’t mind telling roughly) did y’all spend on building a 4 or so by 8 coop + a 12 ft or so run?

I remodeled my coop and it took about 8 days (non consecutive). I took off the roof, added a partition, made a new roost, fixed the floor up.
There were a couple of all-day Saturdays. Most of it was an hour or two in the evenings. So.... Probably 20ish hours?

We built my 6 by 8, it was about $300.

Oops. Saw you said spend, as in money, not time.
Spent over $400.
I would have spent more, but I already had extra metal sheeting laying around from when the pole barn roof got replaced.

Um... that’s exactly what happened to me, too. That sounded way too familiar.

LOL. What happened to your roof?

Not sure, it’s from the people who used to live here.

How?! Like was it with a run? I’ve spent weeks trying to get a budget for (what actually is a 6x8 but I wasn’t sure if y’all had done a 6x8 before) it and for the coop it’s come to at least $425 total. Then the run would be 200 more
