Speaking of coffee....what's up with the new avatar Buster?

*edit*

Never mind...he changed it.

I stole it from a friend. Figured I'd be nice and return it. I would have had to take it to a tailor to have it fitted to me.

Give Buster a break. I think the progress is amazing. Just a week ago
that coop looked like this:

Yeah that wood must have been imported from Florida because the pic is much too GREEN to have come from anywhere near here.

OK, I've been out working on it this morning. It was a little slow-going until I put my 2 little "helpers" down for naps.

I'd love to help, that is if I was closer and my stupid ankle wasnt broken.

I love building things with my DH.

Thanks Cyn.

I know you would if you could.

I've framed the floor and one wall now. The bummer is that I don't think it will fit under the trees I wanted it to without lopping off a lot of branches. I may need to wait until DW gets home and discuss a new resting place.

One more thing- my buddy didn't bring by the nail gun so I've been pounding these in the old-fashioned way. Ya'll will be so proud.

I haven't split a stud or plate and haven't smashed any fingers.....yet.

I had to Q.A. it, hens don't lay as well when their coop is outta square. I put a machinist sqare to my screen, looks good.

However I will point out, the ink on boards, 3-5-6 has the ink facing the wrong direction.

I finished my brooder today, I purchased the material this morning and took a couple hours off work to get it finished.

Now I have to clean off the counter in the basement tomorrow, so you can expect some photos tomorrow.
