We don't even have the lumber all salvaged yet, but we went out to flag the footprint this afternoon so we can start drawing better plans.
Initially, we flagged out DH's idea of an 8'X16' coop. Once we had it marked DH said, "That looks smaller than it looked on paper."
I didn't want to go much further downhill and he wanted to leave room to get the pickup truck around it without knocking down the fence anyway, so we've expanded the plan to 12'x16'.
He's planning on cementing the corner posts into the ground but using deck blocks for the other posts and he intends to create a clerestory roof.
Tentative plans are to wall in the uphill side, 8' of the northeastish side, and 4 feet of the northwestish side.
Those dimensions should give us a lot of flexibility for subdivision as needed.
