My chicken coop and run

[bockbock2008]

I can go into the run through the gate on the run which are the preifert dog pen panels. I just can't go from the coop into the run. Most of the framing is scrap wood i pulled out of "trash" piles people had set out for heavy trash pickup. The doors and windows were also in those trash piles. We had a pile of old barnwood so I covered it with that. And I bought about 25 sheets of old tin barn roofing at an auction for $25. Lowes misprinted a price on some vinyl flooring remenants so instead of paying over $200 for a piece of vinyl ($7 Sq. yd), I only paid $7 for the whole thing and still had some left over to line the nest boxes with.

I'm still learning on how to size pics. Hoefully this one is a little bigger.

I'd be lying (which is a SIN) if I said I wasn't a little envious...and inspired!

I love it! Looks better than the ones I built myself.

Your coop is terrific, and more power to ya for building it yourself! I built mine all by myself too a few years ago-pretty amazing what one can do with some determination! I decided carpentry is a lot like making a quilt, only with stiffer material! Once I figure out how to post pics, I will put some up of my "Egg-plant!"
