well swmbo wanted a screen door so as a woodworker rather than buy one of those cheap aluminum ugly ones i made one of course. wood used was mahogany because it was very straight grained and fairly light weight. put together with dominos.screen is attached with plastic screen spline pushed into a channel i routed then covered with a moulding. primed and painted. i wasn't even done installing it and she had a wreath hung-lol.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
petey-thanks, much better than those ugly aluminum ones. dave-thanks. yes but unless she tears the screen off im good. OT-thanks. rivers-thank buddy. eric-yeah so when the screen needs replacing i just pop off the trim and redo like a regular screen door. ron-thanks bud. tony-thanks man. kenny-thanks buddy. corelz-yeah it hurt to it but it just wouldn't have looked right bare wood. it needed to be white. albert-thanks.

Pottzy, they’re super quiet. Just build a coop and go for it. No one will know.
Great looking door Pottz and I'm almost over the painting of mahogany thing, ha! My city of Calgary has now allowed a finite number of chickens for personal use in backyard coops. Seems to be working so far as long as Foghorn isn't involved in early morning symphonies. :) Cluckingham Palace. I love it!!
Mine was built as a two story chicken apartment. According to the book, they need about 2-3 sq ft of coop space, and about 6 sq ft of run space. So a 6’x6’ run area below the apartment allows you up to 6 birds, with about half that space for the second floor coop. If you don’t get bad weather (which, by chicken standards, neither of us do Pottz), then you don’t need a closed-in coop. As long as it keeps them out of the wind, they’re good. I built ours as a ‘open-concept’ type coop so it was an easy build. Simple deal Pottz, you can find 6’x6’.
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
