I would love to figure out an auto door!

Yes, definitely blocking off the underside of coop...do NOT want to crawl under there for any reason. I've got the window plans in the making probably on the east and west sides. Hopefully i will have additional hands to help with this in the next few days! Thanks!

Ok thank you!

Thank you, I will look into that...
