Urban Chickens Build - 4

For the newly dubbed 'Chicken Cube', it's ecoroof time (at least the structural components sans plants and soil). Here's a quick summary of Sunday's flurry of activities:


:: 3/4" plywood frame + cedar siderails


:: fitting the metal soil retention edging


:: some counterflashing with pond liner


:: dry-fitting the liner on edges


:: mechanically fastening on outside edging


:: finishing the box with cedar


:: after some fine-tuning - a perfect fit


:: still need to trim the fabric a bit , but close to done




:: roofline from opposite side


:: and some finish work on some doors - windows to come

Next weekend looks like planting, siding, windows and paint/stain - with an aim of chicken habitable by end of weekend/next week. Stay tuned. Read here for the previous posts on coop building, including design, week 1, week 2, and week 3 builds...
