Today we were back at work on the coop. This afternoon I got the screening on the 2nd window. Then, I caulked some more. After soccer and Girl Scouts, we were back at it. John got the rear gable up and installed a vent. Then he cut the second door to the cabinet, and got it hung. While he was working away with the tools, I started clearing out all our tools and extras that had accumulated inside. So, once again...we are very near completion of the inside. So, tonight the kiddos and John are going to take a sleepover out in the coop. Hopefully by nightfall tomorrow the chickens will be resting peacefully in their new digs.
Thinking ahead for tomorrow....

~re-install stud braces on either side of doorway.
