It's a Short List!

We recently completed an inventory of the materials and supplies we have on hand to build the chicken house! I’m thrilled our “need to buy” list is very short!!!

What we need to buy:

Deck blocks (6) like this:

Linoleum to cover a 6’ x 4’ floor (the size of coop we’ve determined we need/want), something like this:

And the glue to hold it down… maybe liquid nail?

Exterior Paint

I haven’t 100% decided on its color. I guess I should make a decision soon! I’m looking at a soft yellow, trimmed in white. Yet there are so many different shades of yellow!!!

I must keep my focus on the upcoming chicken keeping! I’ve failed miserably and have let things outside my control get to me!

Found it!

After all the videos I’ve watched about building a chicken house and run, I was still stumped how to even begin! A panic feeling began to simmer because over the next few weeks I need to capture all the “nice” days we will have before our “real” winter sets in during February.

Oh. My. Then I discovered native Texan April Wilkerson’s 3 part video series detailing the step-by-step process! I have NO IDEA how I came across her YouTube channel, but I’m so thankful I did!

  

With only a few modifications to fit our needs, this will be it!

Part 3

Now I can put that issue to rest!

(Oh, I loved the bloopers she shows at the end of the videos!)

Her website is also very informative with other woodworking projects!
