Yes i am building a run as well, half of it will be covered. This week looks to be rain free so I am really hoping to get tons done. We have a lab mix and a greyhound so the chickens will stay in the run when the dogs are out.

I will be doing trim around the windows and I figure we'll put some kind of decoration up. I'm leaving that up to my wife. I am going to mount my weather station somewhere on it, probably on the run.
