your family is lucky, seriously I have the biggest key stone cops around here, clowns the lot of them lol, not one knows how to wield a ha,mre, and my dad who is Spanish/Mexican does what we call Mexican things up. He does not measure he just cuts, then patches and then...... Oh man I can not tell you the bad jobs my dad has done over the years. Makes a person weep. Needless to say I have had to pay a high price for the coops I have had built, taken for a lot of money at times and count my lucky stars when I am lucky enough to find good folks to do a good job.
Case in point, my raised beds, I ave the guy lots of money to make my raised beds ( off the ground) he made one out of pallets and I scolded him as there made from different places and can be sprayed 5 different chemicals depending on what climate there going to. I got 4 good ones and a pelleted one paid for five got 4 I can use. Good news is, I'm planting grass in the pelleted one, only putting liner down so it's safe, adding good soil and adding grass, lettuces and so fourth and letting the chickens go nuts when it grows a certain height, then going to cover it until it grows again. Keeping them happy I hope all summer .
Paid a guy to build me a coop for mom in December, paid the first 200.00 as he said he needed some things . He never did produce a coop, and last month got my money back finally from his mommy.
My first coop the guy got paid and then stopped in mid stream and said he was done
I had to have another guy finish it, So you dear are a man to have around. My ex was a carpenter and I could have wonderful coops, but the drinking was so bad it was better to say good by ! I miss the work he did, not him lol. Ok, I'm off time to get busy.
