DIY Chicken Coop for Under $275 | What Did I Do Wrong?

What happens here

Complete the roofing by installing L-flashing (or a corrugated ridge cap) along the peak of the A-frame, securing it with roofing screws to prevent water intrusion. Afterwards, install the pre-framed door by attaching Broad Utility Hinges to one side of the door frame and mounting it to the coop. Finally, install a self-latching gravity latch and a utility pull handle to the door for secure and convenient operation.

Goal: Complete the roof with a ridge cap and install the entrance door with hardware
