    What a beautifully done book ruclips.net/user/postUgkxo4aMFkUegBx-KHPIJlfwKPHu7kQXAR9N ! The text and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Joseph Truini got another winner! No one does it better! Love the Cape Cod Shed with the Blue door!

    great job! my only suggestion to those who would try and build this coop is to have the chicken wire buried 4-6 inches in the ground all the way around the coop foundation or your feathery little friends will dig themselves out! Chickens are very determined to find a way out!

    • @LivingSmallAndLovingLarge
      @LivingSmallAndLovingLarge  3 года назад +8

      We have had these up for a few years now and have no trouble with them digging out. We also let them out during the day.

    nothing like a full 8 minutes of the same soothing, generic, country jingle you would hear in the background of any local furniture sales tv commercial from 1998. with a little random hammering blended over top. Exactly the instructional I was looking for. I understood every word. I'm kidding to an extent but..nice work with salvaging the metal roof and materials. Also, this coop looks like something you'd see in the rural countryside on Grand theft auto.

    I have physical limitations. I don’t know how I would lift and carry these things and to affix a roof on top. Other than that this looks simple enough to do. Maybe I can use pallets instead and to not make mine so high where I will need a ladder or something. I really needed to see your way of doing this. I want to see more from you. Thank you for this video.
