Adding a window to the coop door.

I decided I'd like to be able to check on the chickens

when they were in the coop without opening the

door and disturbing them.

So I decided to put in a window.

This is the door before.

These are the ingredients I used.

A piece of old plexiglass that I cut to fit the inside of the door.

And a frame that I made of leftover molding.

First after I got my bravery up,

I cut a hold in the nice door.

Looks pretty good!

Then I attached the plexiglass around the outer edge of the glass,

and around the edge of the opening with screws and washers
on the inside of the door.

Since the plexiglass is 1/4 inch thick I think it's safe.

After the plexiglass was installed I attached the frame

on the outside. (pink of course)

Here's a close up.

Looks pretty good I think.

Exactly the look and function I was hoping for.

Now I can look in on the girls (and the two roosters) with ease.

I especially like to be able to look in after dark

to see if everyone is roosting before I close up

the coop for the night.

One last look.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,

 to the which also ye are called in one body;

and be ye thankful.

Colossians 3:15
