The Egg and I: Building the Coop (Day Four)

 
 
We woke up expecting rain today, but it didn't start raining until noon so we were able to get several things done.

 
 
Mom and I added more of our salvaged green trim to the coop.  We also added our curvy iron brackets below the egg box.
 
 
Dad started adding the hardware cloth (wire) to the run.
 
 
And we built the sliding door to the coop. Here you see the door closed....
 
 
and here you see it opened.
 
After the rain started around noon, we shut it down and went to see The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel at the movies.
 
Another fun day with my parents, and we should be able to finish in the morning.
 
Love ya'll,
 Shelli
