    Got the roof on, got it shingled, and got the door and window on now.

    Could almost put chickens in it, but not quite yet.

    Here is a pic of the front.

    well done---a little paint and some devious booby traps, land mines and such--it'll be good to go--i saw where some people were using plastic rectangle bucket that kitty litter comes in as nesting pods--u are almost there

    Still debating if Im gonna side it with some 1/4 inch plywood or some other kind of siding or just paint the osb.

    Thanks guys!

    Ill keep an eye out for left over siding.

    There is a barn on the way to work thats just falling over, might see if I can figgure out who owns it and if they want to sell the siding off it.
