Building a Custom Chicken Coop: Under Construction

Building a New Custom Chicken Coop
We got to work on the new chicken coop this morning. My trusty handyman extraordinaire, Mark, came to do the building. Sean did the digging and general assistance. I provided the plan, did the supervising, and made lunch. LOL. I have to say, as the one who does much of the outdoor labor, it is super nice to have someone else build this for me! It's being built of rough cut cedar and should be finished tomorrow. I'll post more photos and a full description of the layout when it's finished.

The hardware cloth will be buried around the foundation to keep out critters!
