    No that doesn't look light to me, now if you had used those treated landscape timbers which are basically pine logs with two flats as poles. That would be light and serve the purpose. I have a plan in my head to put up a small storage shed with them.

    I know the ones you mean Norm. Everything in that picture is "pressure treated lumber".

    Aww, He'll have a chicken or two on his shoulder, Like a pirate!

    Yeah, a land pirate!

    I'm guessin' that sea pirates have parrots and land pirates have chickens.

    Bucky is one of my hero's, to bad a lot of people, I should say the general public doesn't have a clue who he is. Have you seen the exhibit at The Ford museum?

    Sounds like an opportunity for some vinyl on the coop... a giant MINI logo, perhaps? :D

    I doubt it. MM's wife was out of town, so that put him at the top of the pecking order. :D

    Finished (For the Most Part)

    OK, last in the series. Other then some interior decorating, a flower box under the front window (so I was told this morning), some touch up painting and a pull knob or two, the construction is complete.
