Predator Proof

After school today, Derek and I situated the coop in the area we had prepared last weekend.  Maybe its because I don't know what I'm doing, but the area we prepped was quite a bit larger than the coop.  The top of the buried hardware cloth could still reach the coop if folded down, so that's what we did.  After putting the coop on top of a border made of pave-stones, we folded down the wire and screwed it to the coop.  I didn't like the look of the exposed wire, so Derek shoveled dirt all around the coop.  I'll put some ground cover in next spring to make it even nicer.  It was getting dark when we finished tonight, so the picture isn't great, but I'll take more after we get it all decked out tomorrow afternoon.
