Helpful hints for building coops

happy first,,,,and last day of spring. almost 50F.
we took advantage to clear enough space in the
garage for Annie's car. then we emptied the firewood
out of the tractor bucket and hauled it under the roof
of the small lean to.
it was nice to be outside without a heavy coat on.'
at three o'clock, it started to cool off and it felt nice
to come into the warm house.

Today was a beautiful day. Sunny, 50, a light breeze. I sat in the run with the chickens for awhile. I don't know how many more times I'll do that this year.

61. Falling mist, except when it was wind driven mist. Going on 30 odd hours. Two things are happy. The ducks, and the Mushrooms. The air is so wet, i was wiping rust off tools inside the barn.

Give me some gaslamps, or an old style lantern, and I can play the Victorian Cthulhu game for reals... I've been to England, this is London's pea soup.

The minute i came downstairs today, husband wanted me outside to drive the truck. While he cut down yet another tree, i pulled with the truck. And the tree went right where he wanted it to without getting hung up in other trees. Before i knew it, he had the limbs and logs piled up in a burn pile. Another pine tree.
And i worked on getting more work done on Mel's shelter.
Front, with space for a window.

Back, with pop door

Side, with access door to put feed and water in shelter.

I am currently building my biggest coop ever and thought about how many newbies are trying to build their first coop ever. Thinking of all you struggling to learn the use of tools and with questions on your mind about planning, i thought it would be helpful to share what i have learned and let others do the same. Even small tips can ease frustration in the building process. If you just want to share pictures of your progress, have at it. Let's share and encourage each other.
The usual back yard chicken rules apply. Please play nice, no need to be rude. Everyone has to learn sometime . Welcome to my coop building thread.

He/she is a newbie, probably doesn't know how
to navigate in byc yet. might not know how to
get back to this thread, either.
