Gosh, thanks all. You guys are too kind. This is not like most forums. You'd get hazed your first posts on the bike forum. Seriously.

The lap siding is being installed now. Their door is an old fashioned 5 window door. It's a really gorgeous door. Pics to come soon, as the construction goes on. Lino went in on the bottom. We had a spare piece that fit perfectly. The trim is all done now. Paint, to match our home, should go on next week. I plan on planting flowers around the foundation, so it looks like a real home from the front.

Maybe even a welcome mat. Yes, I am eccentric.

Heh. We have solar lights built in the side for night lights, a hanging solar outside lantern (a rooster bell on order) and the nesting boxes are in progress, complete with egg shaped doors to get the eggs out of each box...... I think you are in good company here.

One of these days, when we're done

, I'll post pics......

Dirtyhip,

Great job on coop man....love the glass. I collect/ did copper foil "stained glass" for years. Definitely appreciate that attention to detail with adding them for your girls. Looks like your knocking it out. Gonna be awesome. Know what ya mean about the cost. Ours went way over budget, but I wans't gonna cut corners anywhere. Yes, lot's of nice folks on this forum. Helped me immensely when planning our coop. As far as doing a page, If my old a** can figure it out, you can too. Just use all the helpful tutorials they have....got to the page creation tool, read everything, then try starting a page...play with it...upload your pics ya wanna use. Nothign happens until you hit"Submit" ...you can always delete and try again,so just familiarize your self with cutting and pasting pics, adding text, etc...before you sit down to compose your final submittal. It's really not that hard....like I said if I can do it anyone can. Ya get some time, check out my page. Hey, good luck with coop and creating page. If ya get stumped, send me a message and I'll shoot ya back my cell number...maybe I could talk ya through a problem.
Erik

as someone else said, up in the blue bar at the top of your page is My Page. You will need to upload all your pictures onto the button in the blue bar that says "Uploads. Once you get a picture uploaded, don't just paste a link into your page- you have to click on the picture and open it full size, then do a copy/paste into your BYC Page. Text and everything else is really pretty easy. And a word of advice-- start your page now before you get finished- it's easier to do a little bit at a time instead of trying to find pictures later on. You can always tweak it later. You coop looks great so far! Those windows look a little too nice for chickens! But I'm sure it will be so fun to look at those rather than anything else.

Whatever makes you happy!

I am so jealous of you. I want stain glass windows.

Those windows look a little too nice for chickens!

Nothing is too nice for the girls.

You just wait, I am going to decorate the walls like a home.​
