Well i started my coop

[lesgo54]

I started today. its just shy of 8x 14'. i still need some more dirt in it then the sand. i have the wire already buried on the outside. on the left i started digging a trench for a new water line i been wanting to put there. so ill do it while im in the digging mood. the coop/run will look alot like "the Palace" and the "Taj Mahal". ill try and get it framed on monday but the weather man may not cooperate. i go back to work on wednesday for 3 weeks (on oilrig in gulf) so not much will get done till im back. i have my hardware cloth ordered and ill order the green metal on monday for the roof.

Good start. It looks like it will be a big project. Best wishes to you with your building project! Please post pics as you go along. We love watching the progressive pics of a coop being built!
