Thank you for all the compliments! We're proud of all the work! The coop is 8x12'.... for someone that asked. Only thing I came up with AFTER the fact is that I may have changed the pop door somehow so I could close it from the outside, then lock it on the inside (my chickens aren't very friendly...and now thinking they might go out when I come in to shut the door?)...but it's kinda too ate for that now! Hubby does want to put some sort of pulley on there......so that may take care of it!
