Thank you @casportpony!

Can’t wait to get it really going ... I just need to borrow some tools and pump myself up! It can’t be THAT hard ... Right??

Right! You’re going to do fine. I was going to say great but let’s be honest... building something is hard and scary if it’s new to you. So whatever you end up with, as long as it keeps the little ones safe and happy, will be fine.

Super happy to talk to you about what I wish we had done differently in building our run/coop if you’d like

Those pavers look great!! Can't wait to see the finished project. I bet you can't either. lol

And my gosh I just love those little ones they are so precious.

Littlest really looks like he’s catching up to little!

Oh man, what a busy week it’s been ... Half a dozen mental breakdowns later we have a start to the coop!

Hoping to get a lot more done tonight and tomorrow!

 

[Miss Lydia]

Thank you @Miss Lydia - That article is super helpful! I was worried we might be overdoing it with the exposed hardware cloth areas, but I think we are on the right track. Also the persons vortex diagram is SO AWESOME! Thank you!

With the heat we're all having the more air flow the better and even in winter it is very important. Ya'll are doing a great job can't wait to see finished product[coop]

A 4th of July update - Thank goodness for the day off, we made so much progress today!

Still quite a bit to do, but we’re past the hardest parts, I think.
