Are these the only DIY items allowed. I designed and built a retractable wheel trolley for my coop, I'd love to enter it.

Sure, let's see it!

There is a video of it working on my blog entry about the door (very bottom). This was my first version of the door, before I cleaned up the wiring.

Here's a DIY Waterer drainage system I built to keep my ducks from turning the run into a swamp. Any spillage from my 3 waterers and 2 bathing bowls goes into a catch basin and drains outside the run via PVC drainage pipes. So far it has done an excellent job in eliminating the excess water from the run.

That's great! Can you put a page together on how you did it?
