Converting a playhouse - post pictures of yours too!

That's cute! I love the 'Hen House'!

Ours is made from my daughter's old playhouse that was built by her dad and papa. Not as pretty as it once was, but we all love it!

I changed the title of the thread because I like seeing everyone's pictures!

DH is coming home from work early to frame out the doorway to the run. Slowly but surely we are getting there.

It surely is exciting when the hardware cloth goes on

nice work!
You don't want to put any wire under the cement blocks? It is expensive (I just bought a 100ft roll) maybe an option would be to put the cheaper chicken wire under the blocks.
Lucky that your playhouse is wood, the one I brought home is plastic -- easier for you to attach the run.

I built a coop entirely from modifying existing structures in an existing dog pen, which I further modified. I so wish I had done something like this, maybe for my next coop I will. Hopefully I wont need to for a few years.

Actually we did, the picture just didn't show it very well.

We started the roll half across the roof and didn't have to cut it at all. It goes past the ground line and under the cement blocks.
