Painted Chicken Coop 3

 First of all, I need to give
credit to Aimee from the Farm
Animal Sanctuary for these pictures. 

I forgot to bring my camera and 
she was kind enough to take these. 

My husband put in the hinged door 
within the front door. 

This way the chickens
can get in and out without having to open
the larger door. There's a little carabiner at the 
bottom that can secure the door shut, or hold it open. 


The back wall has 3 panels with decorative
wood strips in between. 


For the benches, I decided to paint a 
rug design in predominantly gray to
hopefully camouflage the inevitable mess. 


Here's Bob attaching the carabiner
to the chicken wire to hold the door open. 

That's Zobe the beautiful little zebu cow
in the background. 

I just love her!!


We've had so much fun
helping to beautify the farm.

It's been an honor and a privilege.

Painted Chicken Coop 2

I finished painting the panels for 
the outside of the chicken coop, and
yesterday was delivery day. 

Here's a picture of the brand new
coop we had to start with. 


Here's the outside all prettied up!

The flags belong to Aimee the owner. 
They're a cute folk art rooster print
and fit right in with the design, so
I think she'll leave them up. 

My husband used liquid nails and 
his nail gun to secure the panels. 



This handsome guy is checking out his new digs. 


I hope he likes it!



My husband is measuring the inside
for the next part of the project. 

That needs to be pretty too. 


Peace, love, and chickens. . .

Painted Chicken Coop

I've been painting a wood panel that'll be
attached to the chicken coop 
my husband Bob measuring in 
the picture below. 

There's just no way I could paint it 
on location, so this is the solution we
came up with. It'll actually add
additional support to the structure,
as well as making it pretty. 


I'm going to call this first
panel finished. 


Fortunately the biggest panel is
behind me. 

That said, I have four more ahead of 
me that I want to finish by Monday!

Lord help me!
