I am just going to stain my coop. I have the left over stain from when I stained the fence and the deck. I am all about keeping this on the cheap. Although looking at the coop it looks like a Cadillac.

Coop v2.0 update - I got the right side people door installed tonight. I hope I can get the left side door installed tomorrow and maybe get the roost completed. Once that is done I am at a point where I can move the girls into their new palace. Here is the update to the album:

Almost there... Almost there...

Coop v2.0 update - Well I am mostly done. The roof is on and the nesting box lid has been shingled. I will probably stain the coop in the Fall when it is much cooler. For now here are the pics:

Awesome!

We finished ours last weekend, save for a little bit of hardware on the front window (using a stick to prop open the window at the moment) the roosts and the poop hammock. Most of which will be taken care of this up and coming weekend.

Can you send pics of your poop hammock? That is an interesting idea. Thanks!

I will definitely photo-document the poop hammock. I will be sewing it up out of canvas(possibly denim, whichever is cheaper). I'll put eyelets on it to hang off of hooks or clips, and I am thinking filling with some stall dry will help keep things dry between scoopings.

Gifa - I just realized that was you on Facebook. The birds is what finally tipped it off for me. Ignore my message.

Saw your post on the KC Pet Project's page... I recognized your hat! =P

Actually going down there today... the dog we've been fostering was adopted. =)
