Lisa Turned an Old Dog House into a New Chicken Coop

A big THANK YOU to everyone who has sent in their photographs and stories. I hope by sharing other peoples pictures and stories here on One Hundred Dollars a Month we can all get some cool ideas to use in our own homes and gardens.

Check out these photos Lisa sent in of an old dog house she found on Craig’s List.

Her baby chicks needed a home so she got right to work creating a new abode for them.

Lisa used a scrap piece of OSB from Home Depot for $0.50 to make a new front door for the coop. She also added a roosting bar and a nesting box to complete the coop.

Then she built a run to enclose the entire coop for predator-proofing.

Pretty Awesome if you ask me! Way to go Lisa. Thanks for sharing your photos. 🙂
