Coop Reveal

The painting is done!

BEFORE

We decided to go with a solid color stain, rather than paint.  Hopefully the stain will just fade, as opposed to chipping like the paint would.


We matched the original color as best we could, although the original looks rather pink since it's so faded!  
We'll get around to painting the other sides eventually!



The kids were excited that I was actually letting them do the painting!  Since it was just the side of the barn,  I wasn't worried about it looking "perfect".


It turned out to be lots of fun, & the boys are very proud of their work!





While we did the painting, Mike finished making the new chicken door:

And ramps for the chickens to enter & exit.

Waiting for the ramps to dry

Door from the inside

We're also making progress on the inside, though there's still more to do:

Buck got a little punky- he couldn't resist rubbing up against the painted wall.
