I kind of did the same thing except I built my coop where I wanted it at the time, but not where I want it for this winter. I actually built it so I could tear it down in sections and put it back together if I moved, but didn't consider needing to move it if I stayed here URG! It's one thing to tear it down to transport for a big move, but too much work (and too heavy) to just move it across the yard, so thinking I'd like some wheels on it.
4:26 You erred in the placement of this board. You have a knot, a good sized one, right at the most stressed area of the board (when in use), and you drove a screw into it, potentially making it weaker (acts as a wedge). Knots are hard and brittle, where lumber often cracks. Looks like this board should have been swapped end for end or at least move the knot to the top by rolling the board 180 degrees. Generally speaking, you should avoid driving a screw or nail into the area of a knot. I do like your idea to put duels on it though. Your transit with the tractor would have been easier with less length in the chain between the coop and the bucket. That would eliminate most of that swing you were getting. But..mission accomplished, good job Jimmy. Next up, Jimmy builds a sailboat in his basement.🤣😂😛
Okay, you got it done BUT didn’t the thought occur to you that it would be easier to move the materials to the shed and site build the coop? Then again, you wouldn’t have had this material for a video. Have a lemon, make lemonade. Well done sir!
That Coop Is pretty amazing looking. I'm reminded of that old saying, "An elephant is a mouse built to military specifications".
Never heard that but it’s cool! 👍
Jimmy, You are the man. You always figure out the best solutions. and you're fun to watch! Keep the great videos coming.
Thanks for the inspiration!! 👍
Always enjoy your videos. Wish you uploaded more often!!
You can’t rush quality.
Would love to see a video where you show how to change and bleed brakes along with bleeding the master cylinder! Your instruction is usually awesome.
WOW Jimmy! That quite a nice estate you have there!
I would suggest coating the holes you made for the wheels in something to keep the boards from rotting
It is pressure treated wood but yes, I may do something like that.
real American 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻God bless you and God bless america 🇺🇲

You should of got old pallet and disassemble and get 2/4 cut to size of each 4x4 and layer them under so the ground will rott the 4x4.
I love the home project videos
Good Job , Jimmy, I thought it might go over to, too bad you don't have no boys, to help you.
Interesting
Great Job Brother 👍
Also if your going to keep wheels on that I'd try and press a copper pipe in the wood so steel bolt or axle won't eat at the wood
I would add some concrete deck blocks so that the 4x4 posts dont rot out in a couple of years.
I may do that
Mix some dawn soap and transmission fluid and mop the legs of the coop to protect them from water and insects.
😂😂😂...Now the Chickens gonna lay Lopsided yoked Eggs...😂😂
I think the chicken house should be closer to your house so you can better observe.
Good point. The thing is, now we can see out almost every window and check on them. 👍

If there is a attachment for tractor to have forks that would be even easier to move

You sound just like the Mac enthusiast.... Luke Miani
I was wondering would it have been easier if you put wheels on the front as well so you didn't have to lift the front end
Love your videos Jimmy, but it just seems to be wasting valuable space under that nice carport cover.
I think what’s wasting space is all the wood that is stacked up under there. I’m gonna clean that out. Thanks for watching! 👍
Lordy, how long did it take to drive backwards to the finally spot.
Does that thing come with a hemi engine in it sweet 😂
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed! 🤙
What do you do for a living aside from making DIY UA-cam videos?
Love my family 😉
Hope you placed it on bricks
Good job, slow is the ticket on a tractor.
It looks like you’re missing California 😂😂😂
