My chicken coop (pic heavy)

I am curious as to if you had a plan, or blueprints, too - it is a really, really nice coop, and you did a great job!
Did you have help lifting any of it?

Nah, no designs on blue prints on it. I had actually come onto this site and seen a style similar to what I had built and just winged it. Anything is possible! Just make sure you re-enforce support for the roof and get your studs every 16" on center. Have fun with it! I went with OSB on walls and ceiling because my hubby told me to make sure my walls are solid with 3/4" plywood. Well, if anyone has checked out the price of that stuff lately, it isn't cheap. It was actually cheaper to buy OSB and a thinner exterior plywood to obtain the 3/4" thickness than it was to buy one 3/4" exterior plywood. So, obviously I went that route. LOL. It was a blast building it and figuring things out on my own. I'm a girl that likes to work with her hands though and when I get it in my head to do something, I do it.

Oh and no help lifting it! Totally done by myself. Lots of swearing, but totally do-able.

Girl Power!!!

I love it. You really did a fantastic job. I built my little starter coop while hubby was away for a month, training for a new job. However, HE is building "his" coop now (almost finished).. a full-sized one. My little coop project gave me the building bug, and who knows what will be next! I would love to try something BIG like you did!! Way to go!!

WOW!!! I am really impressed. Do you have past experience in building?

 

[BlakesWife]

Nope! No experience other than a woodshop class when I was in Jr. High, but that doesn't really count for much. lol
