I wanted to say "Hey" from a Jupiter resident and thanks for sharing all the coop "thangs" although I actually hail from Connecticut.....it's a great a coop and the stories are keeper's. Thank you for sharing,

Alright, I haven't been able to work on the coop for a little while. Finally got to it today. Finished lots of stuff. Only things left to do are a little painting here and there and to build the roosts inside. I would say it is about 90% done. 1 more day and it should be done. Updated pic. The pop door was an afterthought and was decided on after the windows were in and siding was on. If I had it to do again the windows would have been a little further from the door, but it still looks OK.

Thanks everyone! There are a few finishing touches needed. I am never perfectly happy with my work, guess I'm kind of picky

As far as design credit goes, like so many things I build, my wife gave me a description of what she wanted the outside to look like. We went together to hardware stores, she picked out things, got some other ideas. I sketched it up, she asked for some changes, and this is what came out of that collaboration. She is my beautiful muse, my inspiration. Just want to make sure I give credit, where credit is due

Wendy - As for the wood question, it is framed up with 2x4s, the siding is cedar, roof is plywood. There is an interior pic a couple pages back. Once I get the roosts inside, which will be natural wood, I will put up a new pic of it.
