Gypsy Tractor Coop idea

[Bantimna]

Hi All!

Well I've been a little nitty because of us moving and my coop can't be finished, nor is it portable! (Goodbye-Chicken Coop)
So I've got back onto thinking about what coop I shall build, this time I've become a little wiser (I hope so).

Last week I saw an advert for a Gypsy Caravan that the person wanted out their yard. This Gypsy Van was orginally for a play no inhabitance has lived in there. The Gypsy Van has no wheels but can be easily picked up and transported, I've also got some wheels from my sister when she moved to Oz.

The idea is to take this Gypsy Van, add some bicycle wheels on it, put a new layer of paint on and add some more ventilation to it (mainly a few sky-lights). It will take some refurbishing, but I'm conviced it can work if worked on.

What are your thoughts?
Has anyone tried this before?

Here is a example of what it looks like, (minus the blue roof, wheels, ladder and paint)

Regards,
Miss

You have induced a bad case of Chook-wagon envy!

That would be an awesome playhouse, too. How expensive is it? If you can afford it, get it! I bet it would make a really neat coop.

Well the person wanting to sell it wants about R400.00 which could be about $40, which is quiet cheap!
I also hope to post pics soon...just need to start moving...
