[joyfull]

wow that is some serious chicken house building going off there 

[SMD66]

I am Very impressed with your building and wookworking skills 3ps.  Well done

[Foxy]

That looks smashing, dead impressed, cant wait to see the finished run!

[Chicken n Veg]

Excellent work 3ps - it seems to be coming together really quickly. I'm looking forward to seeing your next progress report

[SnooziSuzi]

Wow! very professional job done there!  Can't wait to see more progress pics

[3ps]

finished the main body.
half the roof in place (90% secure).

My mitre saw broke today. It was only able to cut 5cm and the wood was 10cm so I was turning over and trying to get it as good as I could.

Seeing as I needed a new saw I looked for one that could cut 10cm but the only one I could find was £800!!!!

I have managed to borrow one that does 9.5cm and the rest I just finish with a hand saw.

All the remaining roof pieces are cut and ready to assemble so I am nearly there!

[raeburg]

wow - will you build me one

[3ps]

I agree it's a little OTT but I'm fed up building things in the garden that look rubbish after 2-3 years. This is in plain view from the back door and patio etc so I wanted it to look nice!

Don't suppose you have a twin brother do you???
I could do with one like you!
Looks fab.  Well done.

I agree it's a little OTT but I'm fed up building things in the garden that look rubbish after 2-3 years.

I completely agree, it's so easy to, 'knock something up' and end up with it looking a mess or falling to pieces in a short space of time.
If a job's worth doing.....

[dizzylizzie]

owwww that looks fab- lucky chickens!
we are having chucks in a few weeks and im trying to build a coop :blink:... ive never done anything like this before......if i drop my wood off will you finish mine please.... oh and not a word to my husband, i told him i could do it on my own he he he 

[Foxy]

what colour scheme are you going to use?

[3ps]

I was thinking of a nice colour scheme but I shall leave it to mature to a nice silver colour instead.

Anyway, main structure now finished!!!





Good weather tomorrow so I hope to get the polycarb roof on and the mesh up. Hopefully also I will get to do the final piece which is a bi-fold door.

[Hensington]

Amazing! Truly stunning looking run, I'm astounded you didn't make your own house as well.
The house you bought looks nice but is very much overpriced I thought.
