For the walls I've used some spares of wood that we had from doing our walls last year and the floor is some recycled pallet wood. The framing was from some project my father had done some years ago, and which I can remember what it was

Thanks

Cool, saw the floor boards and said those look alot like pallet boards. Then I was like I could do the paneling the same way out of pallets. I really need to find me some pallets now

. How did you hook the wall panels in place, did you put them in a groove or something? They seemed to stick when you tried them on.

way stinkin' cute! I am trying to pump myself up to build mine this weekend. I have no 'guy' to do the work with or for me so it'll be me and a 10 year old out there doing what he did. I'm a tough cookie so my daughter will hate me by sunday.

I'm lucky enough that one of my friends is loaning me her husband to help me with my chicken run. The coop I had to hire out. I've had a blast working on this and having a little guidance for the stuff I'm comletely clueless on. I do good on the planning, but the execution can be a tad tricky, lol. Good luck to ya!

Great time lapse on this! That was really cool to watch.​

Wow Like others have said I am tired just waching it all... How long did it take you to build in real time?

Was that Tongue and groove material you were using like for a hardwood floor.

The wall panels sort of fit to them self they are like floor wood the one on which you have female and male fits? Also I had the luck of the structure wood that i got already some sort of "fit" to place the wall panels. To hook them in final place I've used a nail gun.

Hope I've answered the question right

Thanks

It took me around 20 hours total, 24 if you count the 4 hours that I stopped to light the barbeque

on both two days.

I'm sorry, Tongue? The floor is made of palette wood and then covered in something that here in Portugal we call "platex" its sort of brown plywood but thinner.
Hope I answered your questions

Hehe, for me the worst part was the planning, which I only did some drawings with the help of my wife...the rest I did by trial and error
