A week ago I said id post pics but my computer decided it didnt want to read SD cards. So theese are cell phone pics.
The run area is 8x8 chicken wire with another 4ft under the coop. The coop itself is 4x8.
Things we still need to do..... roosts , clean out door , the pop door (will be bottom hinged with piano hinge) , corrigated fiberglass for the runs roof , frame up the run entrance door and then apron the whole thing in hardware cloth Oh and Laura also considers the battle ship grey to be its "primer" and insists it have trim put on it and be painted a nice color. I think she wants green and white or white and green or something like that.
My honey hard at working painting
Beer holder
today
Pop door , latch , window , vents , shingled the roof
I also built the ramp , door for run and 3 place nest box for the feathered pigs. (Spend most of the day with a cut off wheel cutting all the nails and screws inside the coop so the feathered pigs dont poke their little eyes out.
Yesterday. I had a pile of regular work to do plus a few " honey do chores" so I didnt get as much done as I wanted to.
We did the cleanout door , hung the door for the run and covered it with wire. covered the rear upper vents with hardware cloth. (they can be seen in ther photo of me looking thrilled about painting). We also did some interior decorating.
Today ill be building the roost , picking up the corrugated fiberglass roofing for the run and god only knows what else.
My honey hard at work painting the inside a nice white for our girls.
She even got me to paint some!
roost
