Start of the chicken coop!

Ok finally got my Iphoto fixed and ready to post pictures.  We started the coop Friday this last weekend.

Here is the bottom frame:

All four walls are now up :) 




Plywood going up:



At the end of the day THIS is what we were blessed with!  After a hard days work it was sure welcomed.

Roof is now covered:



At the end of day two we have a tar paper covered roof! :)  A full day's work again today.  The guys have been out there by 8am and besides taking a lunch break didn't stop till 7:30 at night.  They got a lot accomplished in two days! 



Mon my FIL continued on his own while hubby and son were at work and school.  I didn't get a good picture from our balcony but later I will walk down there and take a better picture.  He got the insulation in and added a few walls on the inside.  He also got the side roof finished.  It's really coming along!
