I call it repurposing. I just scrapped out an RV and will be using the foam panels to insulate my coops. I will also be using the tinted privacy glass windows for the coops. I figure that since they are mirrored they will keep out most of the hot sun but allow light in.
Here is our little coop - cost about 150$ and sort of looks like a little house. Chickens havent lived in it yet - turkeys are chillin there for this winter. Apparently planning on adding on since I need more room for 26 chickens....
Made it with wood from old pallets, free windows, leftover roofing, free fence remnants and bought the live edge siding and plywood for the floor inside, also bought dirt cheep sticky tiles to cover the floor with.

I've seen here (BYC) several comments about putting linoleum on the coop floor for easier cleaning. It sounds like a great idea to me. Just so I don't clean the floor with something sharp. :^)
