what an interesting idea! I bet the underground coop will be the new "cool coop" that all the cool kids have

I'm in awe.

is that horse manure i see around it?

amazing, but, how long the wood can hold the worm and other bug from soil and the humidity and water from "weakening" the wood?

I think it will last longer than I will.


It's wood that has been chemically treated to resist decay.

Rooting for you from the west coast!

Finished the roof and got the waterproof membrane on literally minutes before a downpour started, so I'm eager to see how dry the inside stays. Next I'm going to put some sort of protective layer over the waterproof membrane, like cardboard, or black plastic, or maybe both. Then it will be time to start shoveling dirt on the roof. And I'll be able to work on the roosts and nesting boxes inside now no matter the weather.
