Darkwolf,
I was looking at joist setup and noticed that you set the joist on the concrete blocks and not the main outside frame on the blocks. Here's the problem with mounting it that way, a joist is suppose to transfer the building load to the outside frame which is usually the foundation but in this case it's concrete blocks. What's happening now is your wall load (including the roof) is pushing it's load on the outside frame and those 2 joist are holding up the main load (which given time will fail or push the floor up)
Please don't take my word on it, do some online research on foundation loads and joist transfers. I believe you'll see what I'm talking about.
By the way, Good looking coop!!!
