The neverending coop project. *Update - IT'S DONE!!!!!!*

[Happy Chooks]

This is how things progressed this weekend. With hubby's help, a lot got done.

South and west side siding up, except for the last course on the west side.

Pop door cut in and partially framed out. This is the door for the babies/broodies/breeding area. Ran out of material so could only frame the inside. Trim boards and tar paper up.

East side, first course of siding up and pop door cut. The main pop door for the flock:

East side pop door, framed out. I'm not so good at angles, so don't laugh. I didn't have enough material to redo it, so oh well, the chickens don't care, right?

There's a lot of nails in it because I didn't have the shoe on the nail gun and hubby said it's no good if the nails penetrate below the surface of the material. So I had to put the shoe on and reshoot.

It's far from perfect, but it will work for the chickens.

Very nice! Hope hubby is having a bit of patience...men really are built differently than women and have more inherent muscular strength to start which helps with projects like this. It really looks great!

Way to go! It looks great!
