Started my second coop half way done and will continue to post as I finish it

So my second set of 9 layers are 3-4 weeks old time to start on the coop. this past Friday I started the coop is 5X8 kind of liek the purina mills plan. I learned my lesson from my mistakes from my first coop. My first mistake was totally building not where it will be put. Kind of heavy to move took 4 of us and one hernia to do. this time I built the walls and everything in sections then moved and installed them.Last time used normal roofing this time metal roofing (free from work), last time the nesting boxes took 3 hours to build this time 20 minutes.

I used 4X4 pressure treated for the legs cut at 24" so that they had more cover during bad weather and to add more space to the coop. I used vinyle flooring to help prevent the wood from rotting out.



Here are a few pictures of the start of it

Nice start! Really close to the size and design I'd like to build also. So helpful to see what you've done with yours, still trying to sort out building my first coop. Please keep the pictures coming!
