What surprised me was how fast the chicken coop was built in a matter of days. This was completed in about 10 hours over a period of 4 weeks. This was very surprising because of how much people mucked around on the job site. Our materials included treated wood, drills, hand saw etc. This was also surprising because people didn’t know how to use the tools. This was when I was directing people in the right direction. This made the process a lot easier.
