We just returned from a day of work at the house. A few of my good friends showed up to help. They brought their kids (all teenagers by now). We had some serious help! Juergen and the kids dug 2 very deep holes in the ground for the windows of the boys. We also painted Sarah's room, and patched holes in the walls. It was a bit hard for me to get Jessica in the house. She just doesn't want to leave the car. But it's hot, and she can not stay in the car. I'm going to have to figure out a way to make Jessica comfortable in the new house. We will be back at it tomorrow. I'm hoping to buy or borrow a lawn mower to cut our grass. We also have to move allot of the building waste (broken tile,old flooring) the owner has left in a pile near the driveway. Someone comes in a few days to pour concrete for our new garage.
Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
