Same here!

@Rancid Crbtree I hope you are going to put all of this into an article. It's an awesome build.

Totally agree - I only just found this thread but I am enjoying it tremendously - you do great work @Rancid Crbtree

A little work on the coop after plowing snow around it the first time. Hoping also to discourage bears from getting in the coop at night but If I must go to an electric fence I will.View attachment 3783860View attachment 3783861View attachment 3783871View attachment 3783872View attachment 3783873View attachment 3783874View attachment 3783875View attachment 3783877View attachment 3783879

Oooh - I love the bear deterrent - I worry about bears but so far they have come and looked but not tried to enter my Chicken Palace.

I finally read your full thread - it is a wonderful build and I have filed away a few ideas for future use.
Thanks for sharing.

And I am stealing this quote too!

I secured my last predator vulnerability at the sky light. Mr. Ermine (weasel) should be locked out now. One picture is a test to see if people are paying attention.

"Adding caulk to where the mesh meets the wood will keep out drafts."

Won't the drafts just go through the hardware cloth?

Oh.

Does not the feedback verbiage, # of pages, views, etc. give you the necessary assurances?

It's OK we BYCers are a supportive crew, we will applaud you on.

Hmmmm... I have always thought of a 'blog' as a singularity. BYC is more community than that.

But thank you for the reminder.
