My coop project! With words! And Pictures!

Good job just can't wait to see more images.

How did you do the roof? Do you have any pics of the inside of the roof?

I have a couple, wish I'd taken some before the plywood went on. Basically nailed two 45 angles together, then kinda worked out the other two boards by eye.

Looks good. I'm always impressed by hipped roofs.

I am too! My roofs are always so simple they look ugly. Maybe I could work this out one day.

Looks amazing so far. Gotta ask though - windows or vents?? You're going to need them.
Keep up the good work, looking forward to the finished picts.

Its not really hard, I had to trial and error a bit. Just make sure you err on the side of too long; you can cut more off, but you can't add any back on.

At least one window, and some vents. The area around the roof is open as well, just going to be hardware clothe'd in. I had to argue my dad out of making it as snug as possible. "But they're chickens. Cold is fine!"
"I dunno, they're pets, and it seems cruel"
"Suffocating them is cruel. Cold is fine. They're fluffy."
He's still not convinced.
