My Coop is almost done

[gibsonbuzz]

The Foundation has 5 blocks (4 corners and center)

8x8 floor 2x4 16" center to center

Each wall panel was built on the ground 24" center to center

Walls were erected and fastened

The roof is 10x10 and was built on ground, then lifted in place. 16" center to center

Windows were bought from a building surplus store for $20 each

My wife and I did the painting (exterior house paint)

The soffet I finish my building frames with furring strips and stapling hardware cloth to and then attaching the frames to soffet.

The run is 6x14, 36" hardware cloth going 15" under the ground and along bottom of fence, welded wire fence the rest of the way up. I laid pig fencing I had laying around to support the top and then welded wire fence on top of it.

All that is left is to finish is painting the trim and soffet green, the next warm day we get.

From beginning to end....About 1 month, but if I worked straight through and had the money to buy all the supplies up front, probable 1.5 weeks.

Oh, I almost forgot, I also insulated the walls. The peeps will like that.

This week I will start on the turkey run. That should be easy. I will be using the ribs from mt 16' wide green house. Just two of them.

So far I have:
16 hens. 2 roosters, 8 cornish cross jumbo's, and 2 turkeys named, thanksgiving and christmas.
