Building more to do less. Block foundation, power, etc (LOTS OF PICTURES)

For me this article is decent, but when I look at it as a "howto for a new member", it leaves a few things out. Having a list of materials, plans, and a more detailed summary IN the article vs having to sift through what is currently a 14 page thread about the build process would make it a lot more user-friendly for folks looking for ideas. Collecting everything in one neat package would take this from a 3 star to a 5 star article in my view.

UPDATE:
After looking over the additional pages I missed yesterday, changing from 3 to 5 stars. Well done OP.

While there is no materials list yet, it sounds like you may not have seen the additional pages on the article labeled "Foundation, Footer, Framing, Sheathing, Roofing, Siding, Doors, and Electrical and Predator proofing" which summarize the build thread/process that I undertook to the best of my ability.
Good article! Could use plans and a bit more detail about interior

I'll have to get my camera out to take detailed pictures, especially when I build the nest boxes. Unfortunately the only written plan I had was a printed out rafter template, everything else was in my head. I plan to write a bill of materials.
Good article with lots of pictures! Adding a materials list could help those who might want to recreate this coop.
A very thorough explanation of how to build a coop from the dirt on up!

This is a very good article!

A schematic and a materials list would make the article better

I'll have to think about it but I could surely list the materials I used.
