So close...

We made a ton of progress on the coop again today.  We installed the floor boards, the insulation, and the floating walls, and we put the chicken wire on the main access door.  Here are a few pictures to display our progress.

Here is the insulation.  Notice, too, that the floor boards were painted white.
A view of the egg door from the human access door inside the coop.  Walls are complete and floor are painted.
Pretty sure this will be the only time he is ever allowed to play inside the coop.  He drew all over the walls and floors.
Looking good.
So here's the to do list...
1.  Add handles both human access doors and main door
2.  Add secure latches to both human access doors, the egg door, and the main coop door
3.  Build and secure the ramp
4.  Construct and install nest boxes
5.  Install roosts inside the coop
6.  Install roosts in the run
7.  Pulley system for the chicken access door
8.  Hang the waterer
9.  Fit boards on roof over hen house (just for winter)
10.  Add some gravel around the coop to help with water drainage
