Yea for 1/2" plywood your rafters should be 2 feet apart, no more or you will have problems with sagging. 3/4 you might be able to space a little note but I wouldn't recommend it. Did you look into a metal or plastic roof?

Its not a big roof---------------------it will cover the dresser that is my avatar and extend a bit past it to the side and to the back ------I am opening the back of the dresser to make a back deck in the coop.

I cant find good simple pictures of how to make a lean to roof.

Honestly I was just going to have 4 posts on each corner--------------but now given what you say I am not sure..............

I don't know "rafters or trusses " etc...............I have watched a few shed building you tube videos ------------honestly they are still too carpentry advanced for me...............

I did not look into metal or plastic------------because I have been trying to use materials I have or can find via freecycle or craigs list.

I don't know how to cut the corrugated plastic or tin............also................

I do searches for materials yet find I may not be using the correct materials or roofing lingo............UGH............its hard to be such an amateur!

Quote: Rafters are just the boards going across the middle of the roof space to nail your roof to & help support it. If It just needs to cover the top of the dresser & a little past the back side then I would think you probably only need maybe 1 more board down the center for support. Just make a square/rectangle frame about 4-6 inches total smaller on side & end than your roof piece, attach a center support across the middle & attach the roof to the frame. If you make the leggs a couple inches shorter on 1 side than on the other it will give your roof a little slant so water runs off to the short side. Very simple & easy that way.

I'm extremely ticked right now. Among the many other issues we had with JJ's daughter while she was here she also brought bedbugs & lice with her. We found the lice right away & I just found the bedbugs when I was stripping beds. I may have to burn all of our beds to get rid of them. I can't afford to replace 3 beds right now. My son & daughter's beds are full of them (took me a month to find them because the kids usually do their own beds so they had time to multiply quite well) & I'm headed to check my bed now. I kept thinking we had fleas because I would wake up with bites all over me. Pretty sure they are in my bed too since it was my bed she slept in. I was nice enough to sleep on the floor for this spoiled 16 yr old so she could have a bed. She had mentioned (after she was here for 5 days) that they had had bedbugs at her house but swore they had gotten rid of them. OBVIOUSLY NOT!!! If anyone knows where I can get 2 twin beds & a full or queen extremely cheap I will be eternally grateful. Just the mattresses will work but box springs would be great too.

I have a full size bed you may have but I am pretty far from you

Pretty quiet around here tonight! I have another question I am hoping someone will answer. When using Wazine 17, can you continue to eat the eggs? Thanks!

I've used Wazine. I toss my eggs during the treating period and then an extra week, because I like to err on the side of caution. So I treat, 10 days later, treat again and then 17 days later, eat eggs. And the pigs love the tossed eggs, so it's all good.

Thanks for the input. I have read so many posts and articles on here and all over the Internet and there are about a million opinions ranging from never eat the eggs again to the eggs being safe to eat with no withdrawal period at all. You know what? I think I may just keep eating them and see what happens! If in a week from now you don't notice anymore posts from me, everyone will know that you should not eat the eggs!
 
Well all the girls went outside today and omg they had a ball. I sat back with an ice cold beer and watched them getting bugs, chasing each other around trying to get the bugs off each other
