Whats that pile of osb and lumber gonna look like when it is done?


Don't tell me sawdust.

I like the implications of the 2 chairs hanging on the wall -- looks like chicken TV to me!

 

[Buster]

Well Steve, with my skills it just might look like sawdust.

It's going to be a 10x16 building with a slanted roof that is 8 ft tall in the front and 5 ft tall in the back.

Eventually I will separate half of it into breeder pens.

But don't laugh for real. Our coop is not far from our back porch and when we put up our hammock that hangs near the run too. Very relaxing to me anyway

Uh....I have no skills. I've helped frame a wall or two but never done anything like this. If I can do this, anyone can. Now I just have to find out if I can.

 

[wendy]

OH, you can do it. My dh never built anything like that before either. Turned out very nice. I told him he could probably build us a house if he had enough time, to and save us alot of money.

Keep us updated with the process

Your coop looks a lot like my husband's model railroad...

Here is a conversation with my wife on the phone from earlier:

Me: I got the wood unloaded.

DW: Where did you put it?

Me: In the garage.

DW: Where is your truck?

Me: Parked in the driveway.

DW: Good place for it.

Me: Well I'd rather have it snow on my truck than on this lumber.

DW: Very true!
