Helpful hints for building coops

Very few physical used book stores around here anymore.

Yeah, I know. We used to go to Ann Arbor (home of University of Michigan) and there were 5 or 6 within walking distance of each other.

DH and I will have been married for 34 years this Saturday. I have to work, so we went out on an all-day date today.

Typical for us, we went out for breakfast and lunch, went to 2 thrift stores, a stained glass window importer, an Alpaca farm (unplanned so we weren't shod to take the tour), and a small historical museum. Had to come home early though to get to church.

Really enjoyable trip.

Congrats! That's impressive! It will be 45 years for us in May.

Happy Anniversary .
long marriages are becoming rare.
In September, it will be 60 for us.
We were each advised to not get married
by members of our respective families.
some of whom didn't make it to 20 years
with their choices. lol

If you can afford to, go at least 8 x 12 .
If you think you will never use up that much
space, you are wrong..
trust me..

How about height

At least 6'.

I'm 5'3" but others might need more headroom, so I made mine that tall .

We have one used book store left, but sometimes I can find good books at the local thrift stores.
