Last weekend we (and by "we", I mean Gary and Chad) cleared the four dead arbor vitae and also two larger overgrown trees from the west side of our house in preparation for the construction of the chicken coop.
During the week, we started talking more about construction plans. Gary decided we should have a fenced/caged area to enclose the coop and began drawing up plans. We then made a trip to the hardware store yesterday for building supplies. We emerged two hours later with an empty wallet and a truck load of lumber, roofing, and nails.
Gary spent the remainder of yesterday digging post holes and cutting lumber. Today has seen him constructing the framework and pounding about a million nails into what sounds like the side of our house. I trust him implicitly, but I am a little afraid to look.
Remember, this is not the framework for the chicken coop proper....this is just for the coop that will surround the coop. One thing's for sure: these four chickens will be living in the lap of luxury. It will be an enormous chicken palace.
