Window, or No Window?

I will definitely post pics of my new pallet coop, windows & all!

Put three plexiglass windows in my 6X8 coop. One facing east, south, and west. They are only about 10" X 11" or 11" X 12" in size but they sure let light into the coop. I just drilled the edges of the plexiglass, every 3" or so, applied a bead of silicone sealant, and screwed them to the inside wall of my coop. In my experience, drilling plexiglass is easy. Just make sure you drill holes a little larger than your screw diameter, and it won't crack. Here are some pics: The upper cutouts are the plexiglass windows. They can't be opened but I am putting in adjustable ventilation. When cutting plexigalss, I learned not to try a reciprocating saw. You need to score the plexiglass with a sharp knife or cutter, lay the piece over an edge, and then snap apart at your score line. I used my swiss army knife. You don't need a diamond glass cutter. Hope this helps.
