Woods coop build in process - and questions!

[Medda]

New pics. First wall is up though not completely framed out. Need to add the framing for the door, window, etc.

Looking good, I was thinking about Smart Siding the lapped one not the T111 looking one.

Got the second wall up, the door framed in, and the front shed framed. It’s moving along.

And one of my 3.5 week old who is the most curious:

Got some new pics of the build. It’s pretty much built now. Getting ready for paint, trim, etc.

Yay!!! Coop was delivered today. It's set up and leveled on 6 concrete block piers due to the slope of the land. Here are some pics:

I actually put the door on the West side instead of East due to placement from the house. I also had the inside painted white and used Blackjack 57 on the floor. He built a 12" 'pan' around the bottom and used the blackjack on that as well. I also had him frame out a second pop door area on the East side in case I want to add a second door. The current pop door is on the West side and i ordered an ADOR1 door.

He'll come back tomorrow to install the roosts, the interior screen door, and build me a couple of steps to get into the coop. I didn't realize how high the door opening would be once leveled. I still need to install a wire skirt around the front and sides so the chickens will not be able to go under once I get the run built.

Overall, I'm really pleased with the build and can't wait to move the chicks out to the coop in a couple of weeks.
