| back/north wall |
Well I spent another whole day working on this little coop. Here is the back wall all done up and painted. I love this yellow ochre color, it is bright and cheery without being a garish primary color. I picked up about five or six gallons of mistints at Ace a couple of months ago to use on the new chicken house. Just couldn't pass up $5 a gallon for exterior paint!

You can see in the next picture that I painted the inside of the back wall blue. This was some leftover interior paint from my paint cupboard. I think it will be alright in this area since it won't get a lot of rain or sun under there. And I started the west wall.

| West wall finished |
Here is the west wall finished. I have to make a window to go in the opening. I have decided if I run out of time I will just put up the wire and cover with plastic and finish the windows after the rest is done.

I am out of Kilz but found some off white interior paint in the cupboard to use as a primer coat

then it got a coat of the yellow ochre. And you can see here that I found a piece of paneling out in the shed. It's probably about 25 yrs old, leftover from re-doing a room in the house.

| The inside |
I also finished and painted the east wall. I found a piece of shower board hiding in the spare room to use as the floor.
Last year some friends brought me some bits of scrap and trim and there was enough of this baseboard molding to go all the way around!
Come back tomorrow to see what color I painted it!
