Billy Malady finishes his chicken coop with a concrete slab, rubber floor, ramp, and nesting boxes. He found the same coop kit on Temu for $450 instead of Home Depot's $850, and walks through the slab pour, form removal, and final assembly prep.
All right, well, here is the final product. Got a concrete slab, a rubber floor, ramp, access doors, nesting boxes. All right, all right. So the interesting thing is, all right, this chicken coop, I put the plans in on Home Depot. The lumber was about $1,000. I said, that's a lot. So on Home Depot, they had a kit that was $850. So, okay, bought that, found the same chicken coop this one right here on Temu for $450, about half the price. So I bought that one, exact same chicken coop as the $800 and almost $900 chicken coop from Home Depot. So I'm returning the chicken coop from Home Depot, got this from Temu, same thing, half the price. So the moral of the story is, if you've never ordered from Temu probably ought to give it a shot. Anyway, it's looking good. All right, here it is, Saturday, February 1st, and today is finish the chicken coop day. So here is the slab that we poured last— was it last weekend? Last weekend. It was a dry pour. It was our first attempt. It's got some, uh, it rained that, that same day, so we got some bad spots, but overall it's a chicken coop slab, and I think it's going to be okay. It's rustic. It's rustic, that's the word. It's rustic. All right, let's take the, uh, let's take the forms off and see how we did. All right, let's take some of these— take some of these forms off and see how we look. All right, here we go.
Those are some smooth edges.
Nice smooth edges.
We just had a job. We just— maybe we can clean it up somehow.
Looks pretty good. I mean, like I said, a chicken coop's gonna be sitting on it, but it's, it's nice and thick and solid. It's cured good all the way down.
Yeah, it has. If the side looked like the top—
looks good.
Okay, we're regrouping. Mo, regrouping? All right, so this is what we got so far. It's coming along nicely. Getting ready to, uh, getting ready to move it now and put it in location and build the rest of it.
This is magnetic.
Yeah, that's why I brought that one. Yeah, I know, me too. I told you, you think I can bend down? You think I can bend down all that time?
