Chicken Coop Project

9:32 PM, Thursday, April 3, 2008 .. Posted in Chickens .. 2 comments .. Link

I shared a link to the plans I will be using for my chicken coop in my last post.  I now have three quotes for the materials: 

$650 - Home Depot
$900 - Don Abel's Building Supply
$850 - Valley Lumber

So looks like I will be going to the Home Depot.  I want to get materials and get started this weekend.  I have acquired the exterior door I needed - thanks Holly & Mic!  I'll be sharing pictures as I go along - mind you I have little building experience, so this will be a fun challenge for me.

Rod and I worked in the yard again after work today.  I did some trimming on some of our bushes & small trees while Rod did more raking of leaves and twigs.  We then used some rocks to extend our pathway in the backyard - Rod's idea and it is looking pretty good!  More to do, but if we do a little every day, eventually it will all get done!

Hi from Down Under!
Are you still doing the chicken coup from buildeazy? We are doing the exact same one!!! We're just about to put our framing up. I'm getting the hens in August and as I have never done building before (dh either), we figure we'll need all that time to complete it! Here's the link for my blog with a picture of our base and floor.

If you are doing the same one, I'm wishing you were ahead of me so I could get some advise on the tricky bits!!!

Hi Brenda~ I saw the pictures you posted of your front yard with the all the snow still!! Actually most of ours is melted off now - it is in the mid 40's during the day and the mid 30's at night - and pretty much raining all the time!
