No! No! Swing by my neck of the woods and help me!

How are you making out any way? My chicks are only 3 weeks old and my blood pressure is up! Nothing like cute fuzz butts to keep ya moving!

LOVE all your coops! I have ducks so mine isn't so fancy, they don't like to be inside! You can see my website to see my not so fancy Little Tikes house! It was free and I mostly use it to keep their food from getting wet. Funny how different the needs are of these two similar but different feathered folks!

I finally had an oppurtunity to work on the coop today. I shingled the roof today with the free shingles I got from a guy I work with. Vinyl siding is out of my price range for the time being so i'm using masonite that was left over from a job I did to trim out the windows, doors, corners, and seams. I finished trimming out the west side of the house.

Heres a pic of the progress

That reminds me of ye olde general store... Just need a rocker on the porch.

Happen to have any pics of the dormer rafter framing? Doing the exact same type of dormer with ours and would like to see how other people frame them.

No pics. I built the walls to the pitch of the roof and stick framed the rafters.
