To become chicken coop, there already was a hen door in garage wall. How handy was that. Will use doors to fashion safe haven inside garage. Anyone have any extra friendly positive mindful good layers?

I kept thinking i had to build privacy on outer yard boarder w/ live fences that will take years to mature. Then it hit him, a huge aha moment. Sooooo i created a court yard using beautiful metal display screens from art fair days. Now to plant climbing roses and other buffer plants. It is awesome.

Trellis defining court yard. New off the press.

Screen window dog 1/2 door. Cut it down to fit and added lattice to avoid screen damage. Now joey can enjoy the kitchen and large bathroom while i'm away. He misses the bed , however i don't miss messes when he can't wait.

Trimmed kitchen , love the back door. Used a old wide plank for shaped header. Me and my saw got a thing going on. Then i refashioned the left over corner pieces for bracket support over bathroom door.
Picture
It's painted white now, still need to run a bead or two if caulk.

Kitchen window close to being done. I found 2 storm windows and with a bit of altering they fit! They are pn the inside, easy to put up. Plan to place fine rope of putty around edges to close up air gaps even more then remove it with storms in the spring.

A new view from the basement. I replaced the window panes 4 out of 6, 2 windows were repaired and what a view. My grandson helped and learned how to cut reclaimed glass ( from old storm windows i picked up).
Picture
We even got fancy and cut curves from scrap glass.

Look close, note the piece he cut. Pretty fun. He learned how to putty too.
