Basically a little house.
Foundation and floor framing. |
Art and I stood up the walls. |
A roof, insulation, and housewrap were next. |
I made all the window and door frames from scrap. |
With horizontal skip sheathing and the window and door frames installed, next was the cedar shingle siding. |
I made the window sash and door panels from reclaimed douglas fir 2x12 joists. |
Followed by closing in the run with hardware cloth to keep out raccoons. |
I have eight rhode island reds. Nice layers, but a little noisy. |
