Whhhhyyy is there so much snow?! I can't begin to make my coop outside and it's gonna snow forever:( Please stop snowing February. Well what did I expect? It's Ithaca. In winter. Aka winter is at least 8 months of the entire year if not more. Ugh.

Anyways I've also decided that the dimensions will be 7x7x4. Then I'll have to make shelves and ahhhh. How will I do this inside my house and then transfer it outside? And I'll have to consider using materials that snow won't destroy, which I actually surprisingly didn't think of before.

Hopefully it'll be okay though!

I had my second mentor meeting with Mr. Reiff. He gave me some articles that have to do with chickens and such and I've skimmed them over and they look interesting. Now I am going to go through and read them more thoroughly and highlight the important parts which could potentially help me with this project.

Over the weekend I plan to go to get my materials for my chicken coop with my dad! Since tomorrow is March first I'll want to start building by next week! That's pretty scary and exciting.
I still have yet to figure out how the heck am I going to build it inside, or maybe make it snow proof? Is that even possible? Hmmm, I have a lot to think about in the next upcoming days before I actually go out and get my materials!
