well, it's not completely done but almost... we started this back in May and it's taken a while w/other things including a bigger fence project going on, but we're now within a day or so of completion.
So, still missing is door hw cloth, latch. finishing out coop interior (roosts, boxes (probably later this summer), floor), reattaching the ramp, pop door latch, and attaching bird net up top.
But, work started out with a Costco shed kit which was on sale in the spring... DH and my FIL took to the assembly with FIL's nice assortment of tools.
I sealed the doors and painted sides and trim (side shows chicken door and vents we added)...
painted and ready for fencing:
run mostly fenced in:
Nothing interesting in the interior yet. I'll add once it is ready for habitation. I hope it will be pred proof enough... I think I saw a fox tonight!
[Edited to add, it will be inside another perimeter fence of woven wire but right now there are some gaps in that fencing (under the gates etc) we have to close up. We're going to run a hotwire from our main fence electric too.]
