What happens here

Josh and William work together to lift and secure the T1-11 siding panels onto the chicken coop frame. Josh uses a Paslode nailer for quick and efficient fastening of the siding panels. He then focuses on creating a specialized sliding chicken door. He cuts a section out of a plywood panel to create the door, which is designed to slide up and down within a track made from 2x4s. He demonstrates the functionality of this 'chicken guillotine' door, allowing chickens to enter and exit. This door will be controlled by a wire or string. This door is separate from the large cleanout door discussed earlier.

Goal: This step involves attaching the T1-11 siding to the coop's frame and constructing a unique sliding 'chicken guillotine' door for controlled access.
