Coop Building - Day 1

Yesterday was the start of coop building.  The chicks are growing so fast, and can now fly/jump over the top of their brooder enclosure.  Gotta raise that fence if I want to contain them until we can finish the coop.  Anyway, our friend Mike has a lot of framing experience and came over to help.  Its amazing how the right tools and someone who knows what they're doing can make a job so much easier.


Floor is done


3 walls are up.  The nailer is in the front door.


Here is the back wall and half the roof.  That rectangle in the wall is where the nesting boxes will go.


Done for the day.  That's one of our geese laying in the corner, checking out the new addition.  The other goose is there too, just out of the frame.
