Sort of a conceptual jump cut in the process, as two weekends of rain hampered plans to make progress on the Chicken Cube… but a big push this weekend (and a loaner of the wonderful compound miter saw that I am now officially) has yielded a vision close to complete. Not too many pics of the steps, as it was a race to finish. Here’s the result, sans a few final touch-ups and details. And alas, it is chicken ready.

The cedar siding is beautiful – and it’s now official that I am not allowed near a can of stain ever again. We’re going to finish the bottom screening and plant the ecoroof this weekend, as well as installing the gutter and final hardware… Then we look for some (hopefully affulent and homeless) fowl to occupy this unit, because unless anyone knows of a certain breed that lays golden eggs, the payback time for this return-on-investment with current egg prices – 42 years. 🙂
