Frugal 'Eggsploits'

Next time someone asks me if I recycle I'm saying Yes.
 I may not fuss with the blue bin and recycle cans or newspaper, but I am recycling a house.

Here is our newly built chicken coop, all made out of reusable materials from the Villa.

First we had to pull nails from the old lumber.

It took a long time to pull all those nails.

After we got the foundation built and level, it went together pretty quickly.

We had just enough metal roofing left over to cover the roof with a nice overhang.

These ole' birds are gonna be sittin' pretty this winter in their fully insulated pad.

I loved the idea of using this screen door. It will provide sunlight and ventilation.

The six squares next to the door are the nesting boxes.

Arron engineered a cool folding door so I can access them from the outside.

 (This is where all the magic happens)

 These chicks have it pretty sweet, we even installed
wall-to-wall paneling.

This little door leads to their future run.

Stay tuned for the finishing touches, and moving day!
