    Building a coop...... What were we thinking?????

    Hi fricknfricassee....we too have been married for 35 years and honestly found this project has taken so much longer than either of us ever dreamed...one thing leads to another (landscaping, electrical placement., security etc.) There was a point we sat down and said "this is nuts"!
