All of the material so far has been from the scrap lumber from the barn and shed tear down project, as well as recycled insulation from an Uncle Jim job. It certainly makes one get creative. I told the kids how fun it would be to paint on such a nice day and set them to work. Between 5 of them painting (plus an extra friend) most of the shed got primed (with left over paint found on the basement shelf). And mysteriously the dog and even the pig got some paint on them.
The I found a couple of monkeys to climb up and help me frame the roof.

I even overcame my own fear of heights and climbed up there myself.
So we now have 3 walls and the start of a roof which passed Rob's inspection.
Hopefully this one won't blow off.
This has been our blessing project for Rob. Considering the things he has left on his list before the snow flies, the kids and I are determined to build the coop ourselves to relieve him a little. So far we haven't had to bug him too much to help. And his part in this whole project? To move this beast of a coop over about 10 feet where the cement pile is still sitting. Can he do it? Well, I really hope so.
