HappyCoop II: Construction starts today!

With the purchase of the new girls, we are quickly going to run out of coop space. Here is the "plan" for the new improved coop. The old coop stays where it is but this new one will be larger and positioned on the other end of the run. As you can see from the "plan", it will feature 8 laying boxes instead of 4.

I was lucky enough to get some free wood from my wonderful niece Bobbie Jo. Her and husband Josh are building a new house and have lots of scraps to spare. Maybe this coop won't cost so much to build. I kind of spent a lot on the last one. Oh, and the kids gave me a Lowe's gift card for my birthday so that should take care of hinges and what not.

I am a horrible carpenter! Mostly, because I just haven't done a whole lot of it. I have learned one thing: If you use enough galvanized screws, you can get ANYTHING to stay together.
