Chicken Coop

Monday was another perfect day; the sun was shining, the bugs were few and far between and we needed to get started on the coop. Our birds arrive on Wednesday and so far they will be like us, houseless. A houseless chicken up here in the bush will soon become some four legged creatures free lunch.

We had lots of 2x4s and some plywood lying around so this project also helped clean up the place.

Mary did the painting, I took the pictures.

Well I did some painting and cutting. See those white boards? I did some of them., and I used some of Mary's paint to do the floor of the trailer.

Here we have the base and corner posts up.  Mary is raking the sand and gravel so everything is level.

The skid-steer makes the job so much easier. This is a great machine and I'm very happy with it.

Almost time for lunch and then we are off to town. Drop by in a few days and hopefully I will be able to post pictures of the completed project.
