Nearly there: A chicken coop construction feat to rival the Burma railway
We had a big day of building. Up went the front beams and on went the end-wall weatherboards. Dad found a steel frame ‘gate’ that fits perfectly into the space between the lower and upper beams on the front wall. Later, we asked Dave where it came from and he said it used to be the bench of the dairy. I remembered it then. Its where they washed up after every shift, back in the old days.
The last thing we did was nail on the rafter straps. In the pic you can see one rafter. Getting slose now; just have to make a wire wall for the front, hang the door, nail on the roof and Bob’s your uncle.
