Yet Another Chicken Coop!

I did get a rectangle made for the back wall. Today i went shopping, bought more plywood, roofing and wire, staples and a can of paint. Managed to get the wood unloaded, the roofing can wait until tomorrow.

96.7° Today at 12:30! I was afraid August would be like this! I am going to aim to frame up one wall today, it is pretty shady over there. I will post an update later.

Crabapples, i am still not finished that first wall! I just realized i never measured those long boards and they are actually over 12 feet long. So, i need to take off the end board and cut off a few inches, then put it back together. What a pain! However, i got three sheets of plywood cut and painted on one side as well as the edges. Now they have tarps over them because it is threatening to rain. Sigh.

I can't believe the rain started again tonight right after i painted the backs of those 3 sheets of plywood! What are the odds of that? Well, maybe tomorrow. I did get them standing up and covered with tarps.

I feel your pain. We have been having crazy amounts of rain here too.

Yep, had to dump out my wheel barrow since it was full!
Hoping to get out there this afternoon when it cools off.
My dog has a LOT of green paint on her for some reason!

I did get 2 out of 3 sheets of plywood screwed onto the revised frame for the wall. And i cut the third sheet to leave room for the window. Finally a bit of progress.

First wall up and attached to the run.

Today i got the second frame for a wall together and painted. And i discovered 4 dead trees very close to my coop
So hubby cut down the three smallest trees.
You can see two of the trees he cut down in the upper left corner of this picture.

Those are pretty darn big trees!
Did you finally look 'UP' and see that they had no leaves?

Yeah, once i cut the poison ivy vines and all the leaves fell off, i could see which trees had no leaves. Four of them, and only one was small! Bonus firewood for winter at least.
