My Pallet Coop

[JDN]

This is the swing out door for access to the coop. It was scavenged off the crate that I mentioned upthread.

And, the coop thus far, (I removed the swing out door since I had to fix the frame, but will reattach tonight hopefully.

I know this picture isn't great, but my wife is concerned the nesting box is too high for them. Everything I read says otherwise, but what do you think? Its hard to see but its on the back wall and the walls are 4' tall.

Looks like it's coming together nicely!

That video was rigged to have a space between the pallet boards and the runners, not how it really is in real life.

Yeah...I did borrow a sawzal last night and it is the fastest way but you still need to wedge one way or another to get the blade in there. Still took the hammer and a wedge before getting the saw in there.

Its only a failure if you don't learn. Hopefully more pics tonight of a coop nearing completion.

I was about done when this happened. Trying to right it the roof tore off as well, and a few of the framing pieces need to be replaced.
