This spot is cleared for the chicken coop. We are first laying a slab.
With all the extensive research I have been doing I wanted to make sure no critters would be digging underneath.

I absolutely thrilled to be moving forward on this project. It still has a lot of finishing touches and looks like we will have to do some skim coating.

Next up is framing the roof, changing out the kitchen window.
Then doing our built in pizza oven, grill and smoker.
Also, the design of our fire-pit.
More updates to follow soon!
