Helpful hints for building coops

A view from above where the skylight meets the metal roof. I will be caulking next. Time for lunch. Caulk is no good, so i will have to get some tomorrow.

It is really nice here in the woods. I might have put some plywood up but i had to go cut branches to put around the garden so the fence looks higher to keep the deer out. So upset something ate all those plants!

Progress on the plywood!

This evening i crawled up on the roof and caulked the skylight seam. Then slid a panel of metal roofing over just in case it rains. Did a bit of painting inside the coop too. I need to buy more plywood tomorrow. So glad husband put the windows in . And... they fit!

Not on topic, but here is a picture of our house. I did get plywood today but i should have bought another sheet. Also bought vinyl flooring in a wood look for the floor. And materials to hook up my new solar fence charger around the garden.

I wish I had your energy to do stuff, Capricorn Farm.

Note to self, do not build a coop with a slanted roof again. Makes building the walls a headache. Flat is much easier!

Slanted as in rise/run or A-Frame? I'm planning a walk-in A-frame to build for the harsh New England winter hoping the snow will just slide off so ideas are appreciated.
