Building the Chicken Coop: Part III
We're reaching the end of our chicken coop building journey! If you'd like to read about the first two parts of the journey, you can go here and here. We actually finished the coop a couple weeks ago but I'm just now getting the last bit updated!
Materials Used:
OSB Sheathing @4'x8'
Cheapest exterior siding we could get
1 - 1"x2"
1 pack of vinyl flooring
Lots of screws
Total Cost of Coop (once its all said and done) - 350-400ish
We cut down all the siding to fit the framing we'd set up and screwed it all in.

Building the Chicken Coop: Part II
Previously, I blogged about the begginings of our chicken coop. You can read about it here.
Once we finished the base of the coop, we began on the framing.
To build the framing we bought these:
14-ish - 2x4@6ft
4 - 2x4 @5ish feet
1 - 2x2@8ft
1 - 16" board (for hen house flooring)
1 - Fiber/Asphalt Roof Panel
2.5" nails
3" nails
Total spent so far: 250ish
Okay, so on to building the frame!
