    LadyHK's "Cock-a-Doodle-Condo"

    So I know you haven't been wondering where I've been. Let's just say I'm a sucker for a pretty face.......hers. That and she makes the best omlets and nothing's better than REAL eggs. So here's the project and let me tell you LadyHK has been the best helper, she knows how to handle a tractor and a front end loader. She set all the 12 foot 6x6 posts like a professional and has helped me throughout the whole thing. As for me sometimes I think I bite off a bit more than I can chew like this 9/12 pitch roof. Thank God I have scaffolding lying around otherwise I'd still be up there trying to figure out how to get down..........I'm getting to old for this shit. I used Hardee Panel for the exterior for the durability and bugs like it so much. Besides, if all else fails we can use it as a tornado shelter/ bomb shelter/ defensive position......etc. It's kinda stout. Oh I think we're gonna put chickens in here somewhere.....(outlined in red, last picture).

    Oh well, as long as they're useful...



    Awesome build, btw!

    I have a habit of wanting it to be there for awhile. Don't want the thing falling over and all eh? One half is coop and the other is storage. I plan on doing some experimenting with this thing while we're "spinning our wheels" so it'll be an interesting project. SOLAR power.......funky shit.

    Good lookin little building. That'll hold up for a while.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    This building is amazing. BWRR has done such a great job! He has worked so hard and really gone overboard with this coop. We are going to have happy chickens! We have been adjusting the design as we go and some people think we are nuts but that's ok....my mom asked me if I was going to put in a tv for them. Hmmmmmm, hadn't thought about that option.
    I apologize for nothing...

    The dementions? Hmmmmm, that's a good one. 12x10, I gave her as much ground clearance as I could with a 12' post and then measured down 8' from the shortest post and rand a level line from there.

    Like I said the other side is for storage but I've secretly wired it for my "Hamshack" Soon I'll be broadcasting to the world!
