Coop Progress!

I had some time one day this week when the wind wasn't blowing so I tried to hang the doors on the coop. The first door I had trimmed, when I went to put it in, as I was putting in the first screw a puff of wind came along and twisted it.

As you can see it broke the door. This was an interior hollow core door and instead of having a solid wood frame it only had a thin fiber board frame.

I found another door that would fit the opening and finally got it hung, along with one for the other end of the coop.

I thought I took a picture of the frame after I painted it, but if I really did I can't find it.



I added chicken wire over the fence panels along each side. I still need to put wire on the end openings and trim around the doors a bit.

I put on the tarp I bought for it and a piece of shade cloth along the west side. I still need to paint the doors. I also need to fill in under the corner of the frame and level up the ground on the inside.

Then I need to make a divider wall in the center. Just never enough hours in a day.
