The design has changed...


This is the final skech and a little has changed. We are going to have the roof go up on the side so that when your on the loft you can look outside and see the chickens. Otherwise we would not be able to stand up clse to the wall on the loft. Also, my dad got three windows so we can get some light in the clubhousecoop. One will go beside the door, one above the door, and the one beside the loft. My dad and I love the new idea and can't wait to get the materials and start working. Because the design changed so did the material list so we are going to have to make some changes with the materials. I will keep you posted. :)

This is the material list...


This is the material list my dad sent in. It has all the sizes of wood and how many nails we will need. He also did a skech on the side to caculate all the stuff on the list. It is exciding to have the list on its way.

Chickens here we come..

So my dad and I just asked the neighbors and they said "YES." So we are getting chickens but we have to build the clubhouse/coop first. I can't wait!!! :)

Lets see...


Today my dad and I are going to check with the neighbors to make sure it's ok if we get chickens. I can't get my hopes up to much because it might not happen. If we do end up getting them we will probably get three... odd numbers are good. We will connect the chicken coop with the clubhouse and the chicken run would go along the fence next to the clubhouse. The clubhouse is 10 by 10 and it will have a loft. Even if the neighbors say no to the chickens we will still build the clubhouse so that is one thing to look forward to :) My dad is an architect so he has been drawing sketches of the clubhouse... or soon to be clubhouse. This is the first sketch he did, the plan has changed but we havent skeched the final.
