We had a 12 x 16 screen house that had been built by my brother in law many years ago. it had half walls of osb with screened upper sections.
We cut it down to 12x12 and then dragged it across the farm yard to a new spot. The door that you can see in the front center is now the rear door. I can back the trailer under the door and shovel the shavings and poop out with no wheelbarrow needed.

This the end that had the four feet cut off of it. It would have a new wall built and the front door installed.

wall is up and needs painting. the door was salvaged off the old farm house.

This is how it is now after almost 4 years. time for a new paint job. I have used dog kennel panels that were laying around for a run.

The interior photos are new, I had just put styrofoam sheets of insulating in the walls and covered them with osb for peafowl when i had to change my decision and grow chickens instead.
I am thinking of getting some white dairy paint for the lower half of the walls. need to save up some money for that.
