Good progress was made today on the chicken coop; and John did allof the work, although I did manage to get the painting started. This is the well-known Playhouse Coop and the only major change we made will be to use Tuftex corrugated opaque vinyl panels for the roof instead of a standing metal seam roof, which I could not find anywhere in such a small quantity. In the end everything pretty much came from Lowes.
John said the most annoying part of the job is stapling the hardware cloth onto the frames. I helped him while he put it together, and this can definitely be made by one or two people with maybe advanced intermediate wood working skills.
Sorry for all the weeds! This part of our yard looks pretty bad right now; we let to go to seed while we were doing other renovations, and now that the coop is here I’ll have to focus on this area again.
I think I really want a metal sign for the coop door that says “Coop du Jour” !
