Started my coop build today

looking good sir! making progress for sure.

I think I finished mine today, all I have left is to put the apron around it, and build a cabinet inside. Sitting out on our side porch looking that way, the wife loves how it looks (me too) and knowing I did it makes it all the better.

There was a truck stopped on the road behind us, backed up and they were sitting there looking at it. I don't think they saw me wave them in, I'd gladly tell them about it. The cattle panel hoop run is really awesome

Well today didn't get much completed. I got the wiring inside the coop done. Just need the ground to dry out so I can bury the conduit and tie into the power in the garage. Hopefully the rain stops here for more than a day to dry things out.

Today was pretty productive. Got the walls inside the coop covered and windows installed. Keeping my fingers crossed that we don't get any more rain. The trench I had dug for the power is almost dried up. Should be able to bury the conduit tomorrow. Here's a few more pictures.

:/Looking good, love it! We almost done too, this is what we have, very simple one as I am a single woman and got a little help from a friend, only man in my house is my 7 years old, lol.

Well with all the rain we have had the last two days I found out I am going to have to run some drain tile. Next to my coop and part of the run is under water.

Very nice house! Can you tell me what the dimensions of the wire were that you used. I can only find 1/2 " wire cloth that is 4' by 100' . Yours looks wider than 4 feet.

I haven't put my wire up yet. I think you are referring to coachYania coop. But the wire I'm going to use is 1/4 cloth 3'x50' roll. Just going to over lap at the 3' mark to make it 6' tall.
