Here we go the big build has started

[Noosta]

Here in UK, not sure about other places we have concrete slotted fence posts, I decided to use some for the foundations of my new coop, setting them in on a bed of sand they lift the wood off the floor and the timber sits in the slot designed for the fence panel and have holes pre drilled so any rain will soak away. I Am pocket drilling to make joints, as Timber is pressure treated using the Kreg blue screws. I will be painting later, at the mo just trying it out for size...

at last managed to get out and do some more.... rain stopped play, and work got in the way till now.
I took apart what I had already done and glued joints and rescrewed and painted, then managed to start on the coop end of the run.

That's the biggest pocket holes I've ever seen...Is that an industrial pocket hole jig?

Looks like a standard Kreg to me.......always wanted one of those things.

You should get one! I got the very basic one and it is pretty darn handy.

Ehhhh....not enough of a need......and hate the idea of having to buy the special screws.

It has the brand name Trend on it...which Kreg is similar to this one?
ETA:
I actually have a Kreg pocket hole system...this one just looked huge to me.
I tried to google this UK brand but they look small on the images I've found and do look similar to Kreg.
