Our Journey back to Homesteading

“Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not Christians will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others."
-- 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

I’ve been building my Chicken Coop (or should I say chicken palace) every weekend for over a month now. I think I definitely decided on a coop that was much bigger and elaborate than I needed. However, the chickens are going to be the most comfortable chickens in Oklahoma, HAHA.

The pictures are below, I’ve made several mistakes but the nice thing about carpentry is that if you just keep going slow, try your best to do it right, spend the time to build it sound, well everything else can be hidden away behind trim and finish work.

Deck is finishing up and walls are going up.

Walls, Rafters and even a Door

The view from afar. 160 square feet in all it’s glory.

 

The outside skin is on for stability, and I've started the roof bracing.
