Chicken House Update

Yesterday was such a beautiful day but it was HOT!  Can summer please be over now?  I’m ready for fall.  One of the few things I like about summer is that I can hang the clothes on the line almost any day of the week.  In winter, I have to pay such close attention to the weather in order to hang clothes and even then, they never seem to dry.

Here’s the chicken house so far.  Another year month week and it might be done.

A  handy dandy little trap door for them go leave the coop any time they wish and go out into the playground chicken run.

Laying boxes.  There’s a lid that we’ll open to get the eggs out.  Vince has the lid open now  .. see him . . in the picture again!

Windows . . all chickens need a view, right?

Chad calls the chicken house “the bomb shelter” because Vince has made it so sturdy.  Yep, I stick by my original opinion . . ask an engineer to build a bridge but don’t ask an engineer to build a chicken coop . . not if you want it done for less money than you paid for your last vehicle and not if you want it done quickly!

But . . it will be a very nice bomb shelter chicken coop if when it’s finished, don’t you think?
