Raptor Chickens Coop Build Starts....

[3KillerBs]

Nice work. You're quick with your carpentry.

What is your ventilation plan?

 

[Raptor Chicken]

Certainly looks sturdy. What's the plans for windows and vents since it's not listed in the diagrams?

There will be two 18x24" windows with screens on the front and back of the coop.

As far as vents, all you folks chattering about that I feel are going to be impressed with my plans. Give it time.

I'm trying to get the tough stuff out of the way first.

We've still got along way to go with what's planned in my head.

The "very rough" plans I posted photos of are just a basic framing direction to get started. All of the other details are in my head.

If you happen to follow my plans the canvas is pretty open to how you do everything else.

Or you can copy what I do in this thread, based on the pics.

Its going to be a process folks. I basically only have time to work on this on the weekends, so try to be patient.

Hoping to make more progress tomorrow.

I see a decent overhang on the roof....makes me hopeful.

Between that and the vents on the walls I don't think even the strictest ventilation folks are going to have anything to nit pick about.

It's not us, it's the chicken's. They are the ventilation police. Lol

Fast work.

 

[Raptor Chicken]

Well I'm two rafters short or else I would've finished the roof. Didn't account for the over hang on the sides when accounting for materials.

So if you're following my plans add two more 2x6x8's lol!

Anyhow here's how she sits until next weekend....
