Hi all,

I'm currently undertaking my first woodworking project (for myself). The plans state to clad the nest box separately, however, I don't have a nailer and didn't fancy whacking it whilst attached. I classed the sides and routed the edges clean. Great I thought until i offered to the already clad coop side and I'm the v matched tongue and groove is half a board out ! .
I'm really pleased with the coop so far but this is niggling me. I have used annular ring shank nails so don't fancy removing them. Should I leave it? Or the other thing I thought was maybe adding a second layer on top so they do match.
It's one of those that wont affect the job and people may not notice but i know mits their!
 
Will it leak?

Will the chickens care?

if the answer to both is 'NO', just leave it.
 
Reminds me of my aerospace days when we put something up for inspection.
To hide the nasty stuff we left them an obvious snag :-D
 
I've never done any coop work with a chicken, or even several...

this could be interesting... do you pay them *cough* chickenfeed?

Might be hard though, barely scratch a living....



Coat, hat.
