New building for my birds

[rrtimothy]

Craig, this is a chicken castle!

I totally agree! This "coop" is bigger than the place I rent!

I bet it costs a lot. more than I could afford, definitely

I was got lucky and the drywall is now taped and primed. Nothing more for several weeks as 8 grandkids are coming this week and the local club I belong to is having its poultry show the Saturday and Sunday after Thanksgiving. I will hit it hard after that. Still have to finish the rest of the electrical too. Waterproof wall panels to put up also. Then I can start on cages and pens.

Looks very nice Craig! You have made great progress even with your set backs with the inspections.

I did not get final building inspection done until Tuesday this week. After that was done I started to put together the 8 pens . All pens will be 6' wide and about 7 feet tall. 4 pens will be 5 x 6 and 4 pens will be 7 x 6. Each pen has plywood up 18" to prevent fights through the fence It will also be used to mount the little low pressure waterers to. When these get done I will start on the individual bird cages. Back issues have slowed me down but I am making progress. Hope to be done before Christmas.

Very nice man!
How much is this project going to cost?
I am thinking of doing something similar.


Thanks for the food for thought!
Mike.

It's not because you are a newbie. LOL
Not sure what causes that. I have had it happen to me before too.
