yeah, pretty much. it would be awesome though. i'm totally into that stuff.
well, everything except electrical work- but that's what GL is for.
anyway, i have an idea for a chicken coop, but i'd probably buy plans anyway- mostly because i don't know what's really RIGHT for chickens. i want a big pen area though, so i'd build a frame and enclose it with wire and a door for me to get in. I'm thinking like a 12' x 12' pen that leads right into the coop that could be accessed (by me) from outside the pen by lifting the roof on a hinge and gathering eggs.
