[Ham71556]

Perfect

[phorcydes]

great video. I can't wait to build my own hen house!

[Keesolan]

I'm surprised those chickens hadn't found the frog before you did! Loved the vid, great little coop!

[ismelljello]

my favorite part was when the hammer was in fast foreward :)

[thegbpackers284]

Great way to re-use and re-purpose materials. I am building one this year and I have a nice stack of collected materials to do it with. I most certainly got some great ideas from your plan. P.S. Nice short film as well!

[djsandoors]

@thegbpackers284

Take time and improvising make some nice henhouse.

I'm happy you for you like my video.

[highcountrytimber]

That thing is sturdy for sure. Are you not worried about weasels or other smaller predators?

[djsandoors]

@highcountrytimber

I can worried but not mach weasels type coming around here.

The snake can go inside but is O.K no little chick and just try to eat left eggs or waiting for some mouse or rat .

The hens not panicking , not see mach in dark when the snake snick in.

Other than that here in this area not happening bad .

All best from Sandor

This true the 45 degree not that stable but i did on two side nailing so this way better.

Thank you for you support and the comment.

All best and good inspiration.

Sandor

[MrBrucelee108]

I'm very new to woodworking. But if you nail something in at a 45 degree angle, wouldn't it be a little unstable? Also, I loved this video, it shows a lot of insight into woodworking.

[MegaSearcy]

Where are the nesting boxs

[djsandoors]

@MegaSearcy

That two door what i made opening from the roof area .

In the video i did not finished but that is the egg box.

2x8'S on a 2x2 frame is very scary ..liked the ideal on recycling ..hope everyone's still ok

[djsandoors]

@1wicked2008

Keep self together good still steady.

I can even go in ( 210 pound) and noting crack or scary song for possible falling.

This is free area for building and using what wee can and no building inspector .

If i have more 2x4 maybe i not cut half.

Thank you for your visiting.

[124php]

Nice construction (movie). How much time did you need to construct ? How much chickens kan be in ? Is it a nail pistol ?

[djsandoors]

@124php

Hello!

Thank you for your support.

If you click under the video for ( show more ) you can see all listed info from this construct time and material . This house i keep 12 hens to sleep a night but daytime go on free range out the forest . If you keep chickens full time inside the coop area O.K for 6-8 chicken . The nail shooter look like like pistol but call Nail Gun .

All best from Sandor

[124php]

@djsandoors Very Instructive.I made a few things out of a rain barrel.

[Ochibason]

ps any ideas on a duck coop house......

[djsandoors]

@Ochibason

Maybe the duck even no need house just some sunroof or dry good air dry covered place for egg laying. Mainly the nigh time predators have to keep away .if you have pond the most duck staying on the water and run in the water for safety.

The duck have watery poop and the open wall cross winded dry house maybe good for them.This only what long time ago i saw on country farm but many difference duck have on the world.

Good luck and search more info what best in your situation .

Sandor

[Ochibason]

thanks to you will build a coop like this for henn and mandarin ducks. hats off.

[tappakeggaday1]

[djsandoors]

Clever bugger! - Well done.

[djsandoors]

@mcalondon

My hungarian - english translator show the bugger = fagot or gay .

My wife told me this some funny slang not some bad mean .

I hope you mean good not bad. Well done .

Thank you .

I

[mcalondon]

@mcalondon To clarify: Clever Bugger means "Smart Chap" in Australian slang!

[djsandoors]

@mcalondon

Nice you write back.

My Hungarian mind have to learn not think over on the good English slang.

All best

[djsandoors]

@thewarriorwitness

The Sears trap me to buy .

The table saw and chap saw medium duty good tools but some parts easy to broke.

The compressor and the nail gun same level .

I have also Craftsman cordless drill and saw and very good and strong but some series battery ( Die hard ) die fester if you not using every day ( from storing)

The old Dewalt saw and drill builded heavy duty material for every day use.

All best from Sandor and happy Craftsmanship

[djsandoors]

@thewarriorwitness

Thank you !

Maybe i'm some funny beast ?

[djsandoors]

@thewarriorwitness

Old Dewalt just keep working.

[Rebecca150able]

Honestly, it's a work of art! May I ask, did you draw up a plan before hand or did you design the coop as you built? Thank you for posting the video, this novice carpenter learned a lot just by watching you!

[djsandoors]

@Rebecca150able

Thank you kindly your comment.

The true i did not made plan on paper just in my had the building just all improvising .

Some help what i did write for youtub ers under the video the information for material use.

All best from Sandor.

[shinnecockwarrior]

oh he's good!!!!

[djsandoors]

@shinnecockwarrior

Thank you kindly!

[Theoneandonly793]

my real house is made out of those materials :)

[djsandoors]

@Theoneandonly793

The materials from real house left over and the siding board pretty good old wood .

My house wall metal mostly this time i living in the Carpenter ( international) School bus.

Happy New Years from Sandor.

[b737drvr]

With all of those Craftsman tools, this should have been a commercial for Sears or K-Mart!

[djsandoors]

@b737drvr

Yes i used in this video lots of same time shopped Craftsman-s

If the Sears and Craftsman making a show from the low budget Carpenter maybe good' But for commercial ?

Too long video with the too long hair .

All best from Sandors.

[ninavw1]

That's a great chicken palace and big fun to see it rising!

Just a good feeling to see your message.

Sandor

[beastly789100]

@djsandoors hey what air compresser were you using and do u recomend it plz reply

[djsandoors]

@beastly789100

Hello!

My air compressor is 5 gal 150 psi craftsman but you can use any smaller gallons size compressor also on small job like this with finishing nail gun . If you using framing nail gun ( bigger nail) minimum recommended this 5 gal size compressor but on bigger job lots of nailing need more bigger air holding size compressor

In this coop i just used finishing nail for keep the frame temporarily after i did use bigger framing nail and nailed with hummer .

All best Sandor

Great Job! My 8 yr old daughter now wants one, she saying, "it only took 10 mins dad". LOL..

[kinstar]

i couldnt even make something that good with fresh materials yet recycled, stuff like this bursts my bubble of how i want things to look like but it never does :'( loool

[djsandoors]

@kinstar

Maybe this is small think in the many what wee can do in the life .

You good with some other what i couldnt make.

All best and good inspiration .

Sandor

[djsandoors]

@kinstar

Thank you!

If you buying somewhere in one piece coop and take home with trailer take 10 min to put down for her in the backyard he he.

I think nice to have hen or chicks or even bird feeder home for kids to focus on real natural thinks .

If your daughter asking you maybe you more inspired .

Good inspiration and building.

[GrizzlyGroundswell]

Great video, it does my heart good to see the craftsmanship and conservation of old materials into something useful! Your girls will be proud to call that coop home!

[djsandoors]

@GrizzlyGroundswell

Thank you for your support.

I keep finding material what people just happy i take away and no have to take to the dump station.

Take more time to build from recycling material but on the end sometime more interesting the structure.

The hens did not ask me to build better.

Anyway i just started the next one .

All best from Sandor.

[GrizzlyGroundswell]

@djsandoors I agree, it has so much more character and actually the materials are probably even better than the ones you can buy today! Aesthetically, I feel it is much more appealing. I can't wait for your next coop building video! Hey think about writing for my relic and treasure online magazine: Temerity Magazine.  The treasure of taking discarded materials and creating something useful is truly both utilizing relics to build Treasure! Jan. 20th is our submission deadline.

[djsandoors]

@GrizzlyGroundswell

I kind of just start to interested this treasure hunting but i not strong jet.

My friend from Hungary just started to go in this " hobby" and looking mostly old time under dirt covered tools and historical staff.

I think if i start i have one civil war area ( Savannah GA) where big number of army have base camp.

This place have just grassland a long time .

If you will write please alert me .

Have a good luck with your treasure hunting .

Sandor.

[GrizzlyGroundswell]

@djsandoors Savannah, Georgia is a great grizzly backyard! There is a ton of history there for you to discover! If your looking for a good cheap metal detector the Garret Ace 250 really can't be beat. Look on craigs list & pawn shops first to get a good deal. Hollands brook is a good online company that works with us at Temerity Magazine if you want a new one. Civil War Relic & Treasure here in America is really highly valued. Your in the right area! Get Grizzly with it!

[djsandoors]

@GrizzlyGroundswell

Thank you i did check the Ace 250 on Amazon and have lots of good comment on.

If you like to treasure travel vacation and travel here Savannah ,GA i can give you place to sleep and food.

The one of place name today Red Gate Farm Rv park and 30-40 acre size area but maybe you can find more place to hunt

[GrizzlyGroundswell]

@djsandoors One day I will take you up on your offer! That is my dream to travel the US and hunt with all my friends here on YouTube right in their Grizzly Backyards, but until I can find the capital to do it, I am stuck in my own Grizzly backyard! Who knows, hopefully I will find something good and that dream will be a reality sooner than later!

[djsandoors]

@encorebass321

Hello !

Thank you for the comment.

I think the Rhode Island Reds good breed ,kind of popular here in farmland.

I never have one for keeping and watching day and day but i see the other farm have .

Even same breed hans difference nature. Up on where you keeping (free range or small place life) what you feeding how you take care them .

I wish all the best.

[KallyJones]

Nice Job!!! I dig the using of found material. Seems like a simple thing that people forget for the sake of shiny and new at a Home Depot. I'm sure chickens will enjoy those termites.

[djsandoors]

@KallyJones

Thank you !

The termites left the wood ( move out ) before the grand opening .

Recycling look like take more time and need more difference tools also .

If someone have just hobby tools maybe harder to building from recycling material .

But some have good creative mind and just improvising and figured out the work.

Anyway nice think to recycle and i try to keep on myself if building my own.

fucking love the hair

[SingJiya]

great job, do you have rasta hair under the Hat also do you smoke pot?

[djsandoors]

@SingJiya

Thank you for the visiting but you wrong if you think i smoke drug if i have rasta.

[SingJiya]

@djsandoors Dreads are Nasty, very hard to clean and dry out. My friend had them and when he would sweat his Dread would stink, it smelled like a Wet Sponge. I would imagine putting egg yoke and other stuff to start them off just stayed in there because you suppose to wash your hair or it would not start the matting process, so bacteria would grow and that would cause it to reek. Anyway I hope you are aware of what others smell when you walk by. Good work by the way, try not to sweat.

[djsandoors]

@SingJiya

I did start my dreads from normal long hair and always washed ( once per week) just not brushed this way take 6 to 10 mounts to have full dreads. Anyway you right hard to clean take mach longer time the full drying . My life style and work came with lots of sweating.My hair 1/3 time looks and feel dirty and 2/3 time looks in healthy clean shape. I'm also try visiting my friend hair salon and i have some nice hair wash with head massage.

All best and good inspirations for building .

Hello Tomcat !

I did used some left over WOOD STAIN ( water base)

I did forget what the name . From the original bucket i did put in some smaller can the left over.

I think you can use a Wood Toner or any what you like .

One years after i did repaint this Henhouse with same Wood Stain on the sunny side where the sun start to suck out the color .
