Thanks for the info. Guess I won't be buying 18L of roofing compound for a coop measuring 6' x 5' :(.

Well, the intention may have been wonderful but i just went to the basement to check on the remaining sealant and the pail was still 1/3 full but all solidified so I am afraid its a no go....can I say "fuddle duddle" on here? :sAng_banghead:

Oh dear! Well it was very kind of you to offer it and to check it out for me. Thank you.

I was just Googling Blackjack, and it turns out that it can solidify simply with age :(. Fuddle duddle indeed !!!!

Almost finished the coop, just need to add doors and cutout one more chicken door in the center, paint/stain the floors and walls and then once the funds get built back up to put up fencing to let everyone outside.
Center pen, the smallest of the 5 most likely will be the chick/grower pen

The chicken doors I'm going to put a white trim around them to help dress it up and cover up the bare wood.
