I built my coop by myself. I have NO BUILDING experience except what my Dad taught me growing up. Since I built mine people have asked me to build them one the same but everyone assumes you'll work for peanuts. Lumber and all the supplies are not cheap. As a matter of fact they are down right expensive. Then you have roofing, paint, hardeware, wire, etc. it all adds up. And that's before you start cutting and hammering and measureing and painting and leveling and roofing......Labor is not cheap either but everyone expects it to be.
My advise is always the same; Go to Home Depot and buy a book on building sheds. Study it, it's simple, decide on what you want it to look like and build it yourself. You'll have more pride than your money could have bought and you will have saved a lot.
