Technical coop building question.

[aart]

Here's a quick update on the coop build. One night we made the front door. We really messed up the window installation but we did what we do when we make a mistake and figure it out. Here's a pic of us adding the hardware cloth

That grinder should take those screw tips off!

I don't know about you but my experience has been that the detail and finishing work drags out. or at least there is a lot of it.

btw IT LOOKS GREAT.

We tried this and we also tried it with several different discs. He bought new discs he hasn't had a chance to try yet. So we are still trying.

How did the window get messed up and how did you fix it? I think I learn more from when people mess something up than all the guides in the world!

Looking good

Kind of hard to explain....We wanted the window to be more flush but we made the frame kind of flush with the opening so when we attached the window it stuck way out and we had to use two pieces of trim on top of each other to make it look more flush...big mess up but it looks ok and it functions well. Doesn't look too bad in the picture right?

As the saying goes "chickens don't care"

ahha. this is also why I'm building 4 new shutters in the morning, But I have a plan for the 4 I built already. Any case for function I would have to add double trim to the wall which would stick out a 1" past the baton. No No. That's where plans come into play. Oh well.

It didn't look bad in the picture so I'm sure only you and now us will know. And The chicken won't care.LOL

I swear by the dremel discs I cited earlier....but it can take time tho, slower cutting thru harder metals.
I have a set of cheap Harbor Frieght diamond bits and cutting wheel for dremel....they can speed up the cutting of harder materials.

@Merrymouse and @ScottandSam, in the number of days you two have been talking about grinding I've emptied 3 bottles of wine and have enough cork to cover at least 6 screws. I'm tellin' ya, my way is far more enjoyable.
