Chicken Coop

Insulation
 |
| I got a late start on taking pictures! We had already insulated the inside of the chicken coop, now we were going to insulate the outside of their walls...which are actually inside our barn, but since we don't heat or cool the barn, we thought it better to keep our chickens warm in the Michigan winters. Supposedly their body heat will keep them warm---I'll let you know. |
 |
| This is a great picture because you can see just how deep the insulation is on these boards!!! This isn't some flimsy foam board...not at all! This is serious insulation what was made for shipping pharmaceutical materials and made very well! We cut outside to keep the nasty foam from being inhaled. |
 |
| This is Side "A" |
 |
| This is Side "B" Side "B" has our door to go in and out on it, and our light/ceiling fan switches on it. |
 |
| One piece to go! |
 |
| The last piece put up, the spot above the door. |
 |
| Then I stuffed shim's in all the cracks and got out the wonderful spray foam and sprayed it in all the spots to make a mostly airtight insulation. Now we have to cover the insulation with plywood for a finished job. |
