Its time for me to build a coop !!!!!!!!!

@Chicks In VA do you have a plan you can share? What’s the final product going to look like? I’m sure we all have ideas and suggestions we’d love to share based on our experiences (for me, I should have added a people door from the coop to the run, and more of an overhang on the front so I don’t get wet walking around to get into the run). Good luck and have fun!

Don’t forget safety glasses. Wood shavings from all those pilot holes are ruff!

You might consider putting the door on a different side so roof takes the rain away from the door. And making the roof longer and wider so it overhangs the walls on the sides and back as well as the front.

i do have studs under the floor for support and a bunch of screws holding it together
Well the right amount of screws but still
