Move in day is fast approaching.
Worked at hanging the doors and building the run this weekend.
A few more locks, install the roost, hang the feeder, finish the shakes, hardware cloth on the run door, attach the run to the coop and I will be done.

I will add pictures of the interior the week.

Any comments or critiques would be appreciated.

That is just lovely. Nice job! I especially love the shingles. I couldn't sell my DH on that one. I'm jealous...

You are taking your time and building it right. I KNOW it's a bummer, takes forever and is really expensive, but you will be sooooo glad in the end.

And yes, those doors are beautiful!

What did you decide to do on top of your nestboxes under the windows?

OOOHhhhhh... THAT's what you call that stuff!! I've been trying to find out, 'cause they've used at my place on the barn doors, but I couldn't remember the name for it!

Total Duh!

Thank you for remembering!

I am going to use your suggestion of adding a scrap piece of my linoleum and tacking in a small lip to keep some shavings up there.

Good Thinking!
