So we're in the process of building a new coop. It's taking way too long, and I'm pretty sure I'm just going to have to shack our chickens up in our bedroom to "encourage" him to finish his project. (Originally it was MY project, but you know how guys get when nails start getting hammered...) I'm really looking forward to decorating! It won't be as pretty as MJ's coop or the one featured in her magazine, but it'll be fun!
The windows are from an old book case we found at a garage sale. :-D

Mary, is that lenoleum on the floor? How cute is that. And what are the concrete footers? I've never seen anything like that? Do you just dig a hole and put the posts in the middle? Looks like something my husband could do to make things a little easier.
Your chickies will love their new home when its finished. |

I think they just like our projects more. My DH is the same way and he gets nervous and drives me nuts. So some times I just get his big saw and walk around with it just to give him something to do. But he does have some thing to worry about one time when he was gone I tore out a very nice bathroom and made it in to a pantry.

I swear if I don't keep an eye on him he'll have central heating and fully functioning plumbing in that thing! |
