I call this my "flat pack" coop.
I put the rafters together the other day, and the Mister and I tag-teamed on cutting the studs to length. He unloaded them from the truck then handed them to me to cut on my miter saw.
The rafters are not perfect, of course after I put them all together I thought of the way I should have done it to be sure that they would all match. Oh, well. I don't think there's more than 1/8" variance, maybe a 1/4". I can work with that although it will be a pain as what will probably happen is that I'm going to end up trimming the meticulously laid out birds' mouths so that the rafters will sit nicely on the top plates and the peak will all be in line.
