What a GREAT, green idea to re-use! You obviously have builder's experience. Thanks for sharing!

I wish I could tear down my dad's old fort. He claims the grandkids still play on it... Since some of those are my own kids, I guess I'm outta luck

I'll post pictures as soon as I get going. It's going to take awhile. I'm looking for donations of wood right now. My hubby isn't fully on board (wow, that was an accidental pun!) with the whole spending money on what he sees as a money loss instead of investment of clean fresh eggs. Argh. It's going to take me awhile to build (and all of my monthly allowance each month to feed the chickens

LOL).

I'm stubborn. It will get done.

Find someone with a really nice, and clean, coop set up...
and take your husband to see a tour of it... have them give him some eggs...

That's what my wife did to me...
I was sooooo, not for it... until then...

I finally recorded this full construction by setting up a "My Page" under my profile.
