As said, you need to have a discussion. Ask questions politely (no smart aleck comments or hurt sounding voice), and try to understand why your dad says what he does. When he lists his reasons, if you have a logical solution to that objection, politely mention it, but be prepared that the answer may still be "no." It sounds like you took wood that you dad has and started to use it, and he got angry. I would get upset if m children took something of mine without asking. He may have purchased that wood for a specific purpose, or have a specific use for it. It may be expensive wood. Building a coop is not necessarily difficult, but it does require time and skills that most kids do not have.

If you approach the idea as a Father-Son project (after convincing him that there is a need), you might get a lot further.

I'm happy things are working out for you

Make sure to ask your dad how to do things when you have a question--dad's always seem to know the right answer!

Ditto!

if they don't know the answers, they are more than likely to help you work it out to find the answer.

My older brothers and sister were already out of the house by the time my younger sister and I made it out of elementray school. Kind of like having 2 families of kids in one. My sister was a girly-girl so I got to be Pop's helper on just about anything he did. Whether it was changing the breaks on the truck or putting up new paneling in the living room.

After I got my own home, I always have some kind of project going. Lots of times I call my Pop just to ask him what does he think about doing it like this or how about like this. Whenever he comes for a visit, I make sure I have a little something that he can help me with, even if it's something like adding a dimmer switch to the dining room. Last year for Christmas he bought me a jigsaw! Mom thought he was nuts but it was just what I wanted.

Don't forget to ask him for help from time to time. Makes him feel important that you still need him around.
