....isn't fun when you're trying to build a chicken coop.

Started building my 12X8 coop this morning. Thank goodness my neighbor has a small bucket tractor. I would have been out there digging till the cows come home, and we don't even have any...

He dug out some of the hill, but there's still a lot of little spots that need leveling and special attention. My father and I got the corners square, level, and lagged together. Only 5 more floor timbers to go...

whoo,

in our neighborhood that's considered gently rolling, piece of cake. you'r lucky to have such a large "flatish" area to work with. our chickens have one leg longer than the other to compensate.

cheers,

doc
 
It's actually very deceiving. If you look in the 3rd pic, we were originally going to put it in-between those three trees. However from there, an 8' timber would drop 26 inches! It was impossible to dig because of the roots. So I moved it down the hill a touch and it's now only about 16 from one end to the other.
