I worked all day on the coop on Saturday, but made very little progress. I tore it apart when I started the day only to realize I should heave left it alone. Now my plywood floor doesn’t cover the entire deck as originally planned. I did get out of cutting 3″ off of each joist though. The plywood I originally bought for the floor was too thin and had to be removed and I had to make a trip to Lowe’s to buy sturdier plywood for the sub-floor.
The chickens and duck decided that they need a break too. They decided to use the coop deck for their shaded break from the sun while free ranging on the farm.
*****(Pay no attention to the bedside toilet. It was being used to help hold up the floor joists while I nailed them.)*****
