It is done!.....almost.

Hi all!

My coop is just about done! Here it is! (The nesting boxes are not painted, there is no lock on the door, and the run is not put in, doing that later today, the door to clean it is not cut.)

Inside: the roost.

Please feel free to ask questions about it!

You've done a cracking job there! Well done! How are you going to waterproof it?

Thank you! I did already. Under the red paint I used "Oil Based Primer".

Assuming that open area near the roof is open and not a trick of the light, it should have plenty of ventilation. Going to cover the vents with hardware cloth? And congrats on getting so far!

Looks like they are covered with vinyl clad HC, hard to see.
Rain/snow infiltration there might be a problem tho....
..as it might at the nest box lid hinge......but it's not done yet.

Thank you! Yes, they have plenty of ventilation and all is covered by hardware cloth!
