Repair

[divineangel94]

I post way too much on here, lol.
A few years ago my brother in-law built a large wooden chicken coop, but very sloppy. I have no idea on how to build one, however, I could use ideas. So I have some questions.
How do you get rid of water stains?
How can I build a new perch in there without damaging the walls?
And my door doesnt shut the whole way. I have checked to see if anything is blocking and nothing is, how can I fix that?
Finally, how can I add a doorknob?
If you guys can help, thatd be great. And ideas on how to make it less dull in there could help too.

Photos? Hard to advise on some of this without some point of reference.

Water stains themselves aren't an issue, potential rot and mold would be. Also if there's water leaking, you want to get that leak repaired and sealed up.

If door isn't shutting (did it ever shut) my guess is either wood swelling or shifting has caused the door to no longer fit or align properly.

Doorknob is as simple as adding a circular hole to fit the knob components, then buying a knob and adding it.

I used something like the following: it was on my shed, but I had to move it to my porch when I had to make a door for the porch, from scratch. Instead of having to drill a roughly 2.5 inch hole, you only need about a 1/4 inch hole, which was much more doable, especially given that there were screws holding the door together, where a 2.5 inch hole would have gone:

Are you going to fix what he built?

Yes, please, pics inside and out.
