I've never really done anything like this before!
Although I've had some jobs in the wide range of tasks considered to be "construction," I've never really constructed anything like this. With some of the cheap lumber I've picked up recently, I've been building a chicken coop. Once the roof and door are completed, the project with be functional, although not completely finished.
Yesterday, as I was standing on top of it and noticing how solid the structure was, it gave be a feeling of satisfaction. It's a blessing to be able to try something new and succeed at it. I share more about the project and the feeling in the video below. Enjoy!

By the way you have a ton of projects on your mind! That's great just remember (I know you know this already) baby steps and before you know it you'll be standing on top of the last project you spoke of over looking it all......... hopefully with a cold one.

Same at my house. Doing somethin' each day is the way to go. I've actually got a written list that never seems to end but somethin' always gets crossed off each day on top of the daily and weekly chores. That damn list always gets added to as well but without it my mind would implode...........

And... now that he has had a taste (deep, rumbling voice)
mwahahahahaaa
He will soon be drawn to...
The Construction Side.
And things to plan for. If the chickens are going to be holed up in there for part of the winter (because of freezing) you will want to make plans for chicken manure capturing and removal.
One really interesting way to do this is to use pine tree limbs. The pine needles soak up all the nitrates the chickens poop out, and keep the coop smelling pine fresh. But these things have a way of becoming a few feet thick. So imagine removing a two foot layer come spring, and design access for it.
And save all your neighbors christmas trees. And use pine, and not cedar (chickens have problems with cedar)

I couldn’t agree more @papa-pepper. The satisfaction from doing things yourself and seeing them succeed is unbeatable. Those are looking like awesome 5 star chicken coops. Another great day in the Peppers Life- Story. 🌈🌴💛🦋❤️

Wild-man on a wild-ride in the bobcat. Good job; that coop should last a good long time. I believe you really ought to paint it though.

I am impressed @papa-pepper! That is a solid chicken coop. are you sure you aren't a beaver? We are awesome builders, so perhaps we need to make you an honorary beaver...

Looked really good. A coop to be proud of. Idea, probably defeats the look you are going for but you could also use the same barn tin that's going on the roof and also put it on the walls to avoid painting. Even if you do nothing you still will get a good number of years out of it. (Thumbs up)
