I started WED, and have the floor and the side with the door and the run door done. I am starting on the sides, (windows) ill upload my "blueprints". so far everything has been free. I have been reusing the not bent nails, and we had some left over from when we did our deck. I found some cinder blocks on Craigslist, in the process i smashed my finger and broke my finger and its cut open and had to get stitches. took a day off but wanted to get back into fixing my chicken house. (the things we do for our chickens). The windows and going to be 16'' cutout of the wall and put in a screen(left over from when we did out windows) there will be attached from the inside of the coop, the windows will have shutters that close and open. I plan to put plexi glass up in the winter so they can still get sun but no cold winds. If yall have any suggestions let me know. Also, yes i know that the the windows say 12''x12'' but i found a pallet that the already cut out as a window and fit perfectly. lol the other wall is going to be like the left side wall without the egg boxes.

Any tips/tricks for taking the pallets apart without breaking the wood?

We use to use a crowbar and hammer and slowly took them apart that way. After much sweat and tears, we bought a sawzall. That made a huge difference.

Open a seam wide enough to fit the blade through and cut through the nails.

The cracked pieces can be glued and clamped together overnight... good as "new".

I took some apart and some i left together. I used a hammer and a screwdriver. It works haha. I left the top piece and the bottom piece and took off the middle pieces.
