This was our almost done picture. I'm still having trouble emailing the "done" picture to myself so I can share here. YAY! They love being out of the garage.

I'm really happy with how it turned out. They come out of the door on the right (looking at it from the front) onto a ramp and their run area is fully enclosed. Their pool is in there and the coop is tall enough that they seem to like hanging out underneath. Now I have to decide on finishings...paint, shutters, maybe some window boxes.

I really like it. do you have hardware cloth on the windows? I'm sure they like the area underneath to hang out especially during the hot part of the day. Good going I give you a 10!!

Thanks!! Yes, hardware cloth on the windows and the lower half (3 feet or so) of the run area all the way around. That hexagon chicken wire across the top and upper sides. Screen door reinforced on lower half with hardware cloth as well. Coop posts and all around the underside of actual coop has 4" thick landscape bricks and the outer boards of the run area are buried at least 2" all the way around. Bricks also under screen door. I think it's as safe as can be. They're locked in at night.

Looks great!

This a great build. Definitely giving me ideas galore. I always enjoy seeing how others builds turn out. How close to what you had in you head before starting? Mine always seem to stray a bit from the original plan.
