New coop we built as first time chicken owners

Great job! I like the modifications you made, particularly the trap door. How long did this take you to build? I would love to see your file, as we are in the final planning/building stages right now.

Thanks,

We worked on this when we had time (which is rare) over roughly a 1 month period. The frame came together quickly and easily (using the plans we printed out). The roof took a bit more time and we needed some help with it. We weren't sure of what material to use for awhile, but ended up using the corrugated tin roof. Painting it and adding the finishing touches were the time consuming parts (plus making sure everything lined up for the hinged locations). I don't have access to the sketchup file at this exact moment, but when I do I'll send it your way (or add it to the first post).

We are going to do a marathon construction effort starting Friday. We are both off this weekend (as with you, free time is a RARE thing!) so we are going to hit full speed!

Thank you!

I added a link to a public share on my google drive with the files to the first post of the thread. I can't add an attachment, so hopefully the public drive folder works. Let me know if you are successful in getting the files. Thanks!
