Chicks' Play Pen Part 3


Today's work on the city chicken coop run was some of the most challenging work to date. As noted in the previous post, I had the trench finished so I thought the fence would go quickly.
As it turned out the trench was not deep enough all the way around and I also needed to set the three remaining corner posts and attach the rail that would secure the fence. Working alone and trying to get the post straight was a challenge but with a little extra effort it was done. I still need to close the two ends and then I will begin the challenge of the chicken wire that will complete the enclosure.

After the enclosure is complete I will need to make the door to enter it (the run) and decide on the front door of the coop. I still need to add the roost bars inside, make a ramp into the run and fix the doors that open into the run from the coop. When these items are finished I think I will have what is needed for the "Ladies". With that done I can begin to have some fun and add pieces of "rick-rack" here and there.
The journey is good!
