re-roofed the chickens
13/02/10 13:52
This was my first full weekend in a
while and the weather looked ok, so I decided to fit the chicken
coop's new roof. I took about half an hour to pull off the old one
before I could start fitting the pre-made A frames.
After that I started to fit the roof timber. These are classic lapped planks. Shortly after this it started snowing.
So I moved inside and fitted some of the bracing. The A frames are 2"x2", so should hold a fair amount of weight.
I thought that it would be easier to paint the roof as I built it. The final result is a rather smart dark stained wood roof. It took me about 5 hours in the end.
It's not quite finished - I'm going to add some guttering and water barrels at some point this spring.
