Who else has built the Minimal Coop?

Here's my sketch-up of where I'm taking this basic design.

I think it's a lot like having a good cake recipe. If you have a good recipe, you can dress it up in a thousand ways, all depending on the situation and your taste. Feel like a 4 layer cake? Okay! Cupcakes instead? No problem.

All the orange-ish lines on the framing indicate pieces I'm adding. I know that the Minimal was planned to not need extra framing, but since I'm doing weird things with it (or attempting to.. we'll see where it goes..) I thought it might be a good idea.

That's a nice coop! We ended up building the Alpine A-Frame from that book.

How did it go for you? That was a serious runner up us- it's such a cute design! Sadly we don't have a flat lawn... at all. I feel like we'd run out of places to move it to in about 3 days!
