Coop construction cont. – roof rafters in place

The roof rafters and floor framing of the hen-house are now installed. You can begin to see the overall form of the coop and roof now. The roof will be one large shed roof that slopes down to the back/south side of the coop. The higher side of the shed roof faces north.  The south side of the roof will harvest rain water from a gutter and store it in a 55 gal. steel barrel for use in watering the chickens and/or our GARDEN. Finally, you can start to see the hen-house floor framing on the west side of the coop taking shape.
