I need to be better about keeping my project status updates consolidated in one thread (for each project), so here’s me trying to do better.
The roof is done. Tomorrow I’ll raise it up and get to work on the door and the “walls”.
This project finally drew its blood sacrifice, so the rest should go smoothly.
I was too busy swearing to get a pic, but I’ll snap one tomorrow evening before I start more work on it.

Work slowed by illness (that still doesn’t seem to be going away, but hopefully soon. Only unbearable at night now).
Chickens were getting too big (a week after I wanted them to be out), so they’re in an old shitty rotten coop until I can finish adding wire to the far side, short-side peaks, and door.
51” width Door is “hinged” using loose vertical T connectors. Need to grease them up and add a latch, then it’ll be done.
Whole thing will get translucent plastic on top + black 2ft tall skirt.

Every joint reinforced with 2x self tapping screws. I was going to move it and start piling up the mulch this evening, but decided to try and finish the roof as one unit first.
Crossbar set at 34” from either end so that a single roll of 36”x10’ hardware cloth spans an entire section. No frustration cutting that stuff (which is a mess). Stainless steel cable crimps used to hold it down (no replacing zip ties every few years due to UV degradation and cracking).
Roof frame done tomorrow, I hope.
