Well we did it ... first ever chickens ... coop build

Looks like that'll work, interesting solution to the grade issue!
What are you going to use for wire, are you going to put it on the outside and continue it down into an apron to dissuade diggers?

We basically live on bedrock. The topsoil is anywhere from 2" - 4" deep then "clunk" you hit solid rock. I'm going to scratch down to the bedrock from the inside and pour some redi-mix to fill the gaps.

Looks great! You've inspired me and given me some good ideas! I love the bathroom wallboard!
