CHICKENS: Coop Carpentry
My carpentry skills keep getting better with each iteration of this chicken coops set-up… learning by doing is definitely my deal. It didn’t help that my dad was a carpenter and we built a lot of stuff together, but doing it on your own is different. He definitely would have done a better job, but this is pretty good considering what we started with, and it’s solid and safe, even if it’s not perfect, which is what really matters.
Speaking of safe, if you want to hear about a building project that definitely ISN’T… check out the soundtrack to most of this build, Parkdale Haunt. No affiliation or anything, just an enjoyable spoopy spooky atmospheric horror podcast that starts out being about a remodeling project on an old house that turns into a very different kind of story very quickly. It was a great listen while I hammered away at this chicken coop rebuild, or at least the solo parts. No matter how frustrating or sketchy things felt while I was figuring this chicken coop rebuild and remodel out, at least it’s probably not haunted. Well, actually, it’s been around a long time, so there are actually quite a few chicken ghosts in there… I’m glad I didn’t consider that until just now. Booooo-gawk!
