<p>Building the frame: <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2598/3665806249_7941be51e1.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong>Total cost of the whole project</strong></p>
<p>4 pieces of 10&#8242; corrugated roofing  &#8211;  $50.00<br />

1/2 sheet of 1/2&#8243; plywood  &#8211;  $5.00  ($10.00 if you have to buy a full sheet)<br />
Stucco netting &#8211; 16&#8242; @ .18  &#8211;  $3.00  [$28.00 for a full roll (150')]<br />
1 piece of 4&#8243; x 4&#8243; flashing &#8211; ridge cap  &#8211;  $8.00<br />
1 piece metal corner trim  &#8211;  $4.00<br />

3 gallon metal waterer  &#8211;  $30.00</p>
<p>The whole project came out to $160.60, and this is only because the coop builder decided not to spend time looking for spare parts. $160.60 is still a very good deal for a chicken coop of its size.
