I didn't get a coop build but one of the neighbors came over today and asked me to install some windows. I wish I could build coops every day. Now that would be a great job.

I love your coop. It would look great in any yard.

All framing is finished. Today I sheated the back roof, sheated the east wall, put the decking on the front porch, and started trimming out the walls.

The back roof and east wall.

front porch decking

started exterior trim.

I guess im going to finish trimming the roof line next so I can get the roof shingled.

That looks awesome. How much have you spent so far?

Thanks. The chicks are staying in 5'x5'x3' tall cardboard box in the basement and I can't wait to get them out of the house.
