I was able to scrounge enough plywood to cover the entire shell including the floor.
I purchased some quality barn paint for the exterior from the local Big R store. The interior pant was from my in-laws same for the composite roofing. (I will have to post a follow up with these photos of the paint).
As promised photos of the paint.
This will be the final resting place for the hen house once I have the last post placed on the pier block. I will then build a frame around the top of the posts and then we will set the house on top of that. I still need to build the run which will be between the pink bucket and the green fence post. (these photos were taken on the 5th of January 2012...no snow)
