I struck gold. FREE WOOD

[Zahboo]

By having this wood, I will have so much more. I'll be able to make a strong secure run. I will also be able to get the waterer I want, the one that hooks up to a hose pipe, Little Giant I think is the brand. I got a hanging galanized feeder from the feed store for free because the side has a dent in it. It looks good though. I popped out the dent and it was good as new. I hope to mimic this coop, with a few adjustments.

I want the peak to be 9'. The lowest wall will be 5'. I can't wait to get started. I do believe I'm going to use similar siding like in the coop page linked above.

Great load of lumber! I'm doing the same thing. Looking for free lumber. I found a house being torn down and really loaded up. Check my BYC page. I'm also building an 8' X 8' but not as fancy as yours will be.

Goog luck!

I doubt it will look fancy, as I am in high school and building it on my own, but I'd like to know I did it and it was worth it to me havin the exp. than paying someone to throw it up and not but devotion into it.

Free is the best word in the every! I got all the wood I need from an old softball dugout.

This week it is raining. I hope that during the weekdays the next 2 weeks I will start leveling the ground. Then, we begin the painful task of moving the 14x8 prebuilt floor. It's REALLY heavy. It took 4 strong guys powered by Bud. to put it up there. LOL. I think the neighbors will be recieving a phone call. Talking to patty, a BYC member near by that is being an inspiration for my coop (I want her chicks), I learned I'm already ahead of schedule! I said I wanted to floor done by the end of spring break. That STARTS the 10th of April. The floor only needs one board replaced on it
