My first coop build (actually the first thing I've ever built)

[tryne7]

Over the course of 2 weeks I built this coop for my girls (Due to arrive next week)
All the materials were discards from neighborhood curbside pickup.
The only thing I paid for was the paint, screws and hinges (even the roofing nails were a freebie)
Measures 4'X7' I put screening behind the ventilation holes to keep the girls safe
I still need to finish the run part (an easy couple hour job)
By the way ...anyone can do whatever they put their mind to. I am a mother of 3 girls (9mos, 5yrs, and 8 yrs)
I am a nurse, and have never built anything before in my life.
I did this by eye and not by meaurement (so it isn't perfect and has character which makes it all that much more special to me)
