My coop building journey

[AngelAnela]

I was responding to the OP's @mallory2013 build. I see blocking front and rear between the rafters sitting on the top plate.View attachment 3804865

Oh, sorry. Yes, your right.. I'm so broke I cannot pay attention. Lol

All good...

Update! I forgot to get a photo once we got the purlins up, but the roof is coming along! Tomorrow we are going to get the roof panels and a vapor barrier. Unfortunately the plywood that I used for the roof got caught out in the rain so it got slightly warped, but it will work fine for a coop roof
I removed two of the blockings in the front and the 2 corresponding in the back per the very helpful suggestion of @wrathsfarm!

I'd remove all of them, not just 2. You really want to maximize ventilation to reduce risk of frostbite in winter.

Ditto Dat...and add some fascia boards to the end of rafters front and back to help block wind and blown snow.

First Thank you all for your helpful advice!!
As you can see the roof, window and door are now installed!! I added fascia boards to the front and back. Next step is painting the siding and then adding the rest of the trim. I also plan on adding linoleum to the floor to help in ease of cleaning.
