Steadfast's 1st Coop (Ton's of Photos)

[Steadfast]

One good thing about the sumer heat, the wood dryed out much faster!
So, I finally had my chance to deck stain it! Here are some more "After Staining" photos!

Wood stain by morning light!

Shaded "playground" area with hot weather pool!

Put down the Camera and FEED US!

The back door leading to the "Play Ground"!

Mmmmmmm, Honeydew mellon.... fresh from the garden!

Great journey you took me on with your build. I imagine that structure will stand for more years than we all have left. Awesome chronicling of the project. One of a kind and most beautiful! Can't wait to hear how the heat works out. American ingenuity is alive and well!
