Chicken Coop

When I am not day dreaming, doing odd jobs, or reading... I am working on this chicken coop. I helped my dad tare down his old house and used his truck to haul the scrap lumber into town for the coop. I was de-nailing it for a couple weeks. Now we have started on the coop.








Here is the trailer full of scraps of scrap lumber.












































Here is the pile of 1" by

1" indicates one inch
1' indicates one foot





















Here is the pile of floor planks.
2"x10"
2"x12"
2"x8"



















Here is the pile of timbers for under the floor and beside it is the pile of 2"x6" full dimension lumber.




















Here is the pile of standard cut 2"x6" lumber. It's mixed in with a couple full dimension. Notice the full dimension is dark brown, the standard cut is lighter.




















Here is the temporary chicken coop. We have 13 chickens living in there right now.
















Here is the bucket that is a third full of nails I pulled out of that lumber. That was the most time consuming part of all of this for sure. But it was worth it to save on the cost of lumber.
