Looking good for a first project. Organization helps and I can tell that you have everything under control. Keep them pictures coming.

Thanks, Everyone!!! I wish I could speed it up, but I'll get there. I just updated with this week's progress - Flat Creek Farm's First Coop.

I barely squeaked in my update before this week is over

Now, to catch up and go look at everyone else's coop projects

It looks REALLY good!!

Your notes say you are using an eggshell finish in the interior - why that choice for your paint grade? We have tins of eggshell in a variety of colours but I passed it over because I thought semigloss was easier to clen.

Gorgeous coop! You should be really proud. I am very impressed by all the attention to small details.

Thank you again. When I look over that 'still to do' list, I get a little antsy. Better find time today for carpentry!

Prospector, you are absolutely correct about the eggshell finish vs semi-gloss. I may re-think my choice. My biggest deciding factors are that the eggshell paint was free and it might be 'pretty', but if it's not easy to clean... hmmmm. Thanks for making me think! I may have to experiment first

Finally updated last week's, and weekend progress (on My Page). Chicks arrive Thursday or Friday of this week!!! I also painted the coop yesterday (red) - no pics of the paint job yet, but I love it. I'm hanging doors tomorrow. Also need to put the tin on the roof and a few little 'safety' measures.

I will be down to the wire, finishing up at the last minute. Hmmm, has anyone else done that?

Thanks for lookin'.... Final updates and Chickie pics coming soon!!
