It hit 81 degrees today! And I felt every bit of it... and will continue to feel it for the next week! I have the stupidest burn on my back. I attempted to put sunscreen (SPF 70 of course) on my neck where my first burn (with shirt) took place, but I guess I got a little over-zealous and now I have a neopolitan (yes, the ice cream) look! Oops. I'm sure Elaine will think it's VERY attractive!
In phase 3 I finished the first round of siding. I will be doing a board and batten siding, and I will finish with the battens and trim in the final phase (whenever that might be...). My next move will be the bird doors, main access door, and roof. Then I will put up the chicken run and move them in. I will probably have to do the battens and trim on the front of the coop prior to finishing the chicken run, because I won't be able to access the front very easily after I fence it in.

The window in the front is plexiglass, and the ones in the back are screened and will have shutters. I think the shutters will add a lot of character to the coop. Eventually I will install a rainwater harvesting system using gutters and PVC piping, and a grain hopper to make feeding them even easier. But those things will have to wait since this project is taking WAY longer than I expected.
