My New Coop! 3/14 Today's progress pic on post #356

[Daycare Mom]

Finally some pictures!

I bet your helpers love to help. I also bet it goes alot faster without their help.

Looking good so far!

Thanks everyone!

My disclaimer is that 95% of my framing experience came from helping my grandpa remodel his basement when I was 16. I haven't had much if any experience since then. He was a stickler for details though.

I do think I'm going to hold off building the side walls, which will entail building window frames and framing in the door, until my dad comes to help tomorrow. I need to attach the skids to the floor as well.

Can't wait to see pics of your brooder metal-peddler.

Thanks redoak.

As you can see, I had the quality inspection team out today.

Jared~ You are really making progress! You might want to tell your chickens that they can't move in yet, they seem confused. lol

I don't see hardhats on those chickens. That's an OSHA violation.
