Very nice coop. Cinemax for the coop. Don't want to give the Roos any ideas. They are bad enough.

Today's installment:

The partition wall was built with a 12" kick board across the bottom. Hubby custom built a door with expanded metal on the bottom and chicken wire on the top half.

A closer shot of the completed door. This shot also shows the finished partition wall: bottom half with sheet metal and top half with chicken wire.

The gang exploring their new home.

Hubby is standing in the 5' x 10' storage area. He'll get that (outside) wall built and door installed next.

That looks so nice and substantial. I can't wait to see the finished product!

Thanks, all.

More progress:

Here's what it looks like from the southwest. On the south side, there will be a large overhang covering the first part of the run. Obviously, that still needs finished framing and sheeting. Much trim work still to do on everything.

The north wall going up.

That door is a mega-bucks, solid wood with metal sheeted over exterior side, heavy-duty door that was on a coffee shop in town. It somehow got hit, breaking the doubled glass and metal overlay trimwork. We got it for $40, single glass being fine with us. Here it is with the wall further along.

Not much coop progress due to life in general the past few days but hubby did get a feeder built yesterday out of scrap metal, painted with whatever we had on hand.

And with the top off, you can see the baffles.

I love it! Can your hubby come over to my house and play with my hubby? Oh, and tell him to bring along his tools!

We have the shell of our coop done, now for some interior designing!
