SMALL STEPS

Yesterday we got the post support cut and fitted under the beam. The chicken coop is 24 feet long (7.3 meters) so the beam does need some support in the middle, especially during our winters.

We have enough of these plastic panels from an old greenhouse to cover the south side of the roof.

I think the panels will be perfect; allow some light but keep our chickens dry when it rains. There is a solid green panels that will fit across the bottom to complete the job.

Today I will cut the boards to length and fit them along the roof line. The north side I will cover with TYVEK and steel siding which should keep that side dry as well.

Another busy day and it's time to get started.

Thanks for stopping by.
