We built this to go right next to our stairs. The run has hardware cloth on 3 sides and then the side touching the stairs opens up to under the stairs so they have a bigger run.

We extended the floor so that it went all the way to the nesting box. We will be adding a nesting box to the wall by the cleanout doors rather than where the plans put the nesting box. We like that this gave us more square foot per chicken on floor space. Due to this change though we had to use interier hinges so the floor could slide in and out easily. We also added a door to the bottom so the coop could be locked seperately from the run. 

I wanted to turn the space where the planter box is into a storage space and may still do that later to store food, clean out supplies, and first aid supplies. We'll see! 

very easy to put together!! Thanks Ana

Made from pine boards. Had to add 2 2x4's underneath to hold the drawer.  

Took a little longer than I anticipated.  By far the hardest part was finding straight boards at Home Depot.  Used Cedar 4x4s for the post to avoid treated wood.  Had to make a few adjustments for our king mattress, but well worth it.   Bed and platform came in right at $300 for the wood, screws, paint, etc.  Thanks for the plans!

This is a very easy way to create a sand or water table for your kids and it only takes a few hours from start to finish. A few pieces of wood, some screws and tub to hold the sand or water and your set. Enjoy!

My daughter wanted a bed with lots of storage so searched on here and found the queen and king storage beds, but she wanted something taller.  So, I modifed the plans for the bed and made it slightly larger than a queen storage bed, but not quite as big as the king, and almost twice the height.  I then built a set of stairs (modified the plans for the stairs as well so she would have 2 sets that created a bridge for her dog's kennel to go under her bed hidden away slightly.  This was by far my biggest and most challenging project to date, but we were thrilled with the way it turned out.  She loves the bed and I loved the time I was able to spend with her while building (she is 20 so time like that is far and few between)

I designed this bed that we built with inspiration from Ana's camp loft bed plans, but without stairs and second bed underneath.

We couldn't find untreated 4x4's for the legs so my husband glued two 2X4's together. In the end you can hardly tell that they aren't one piece.

Using the easy to follow instructions by Ana, I was able to create this wonderful addition to my front porch.

Taken from inspiration from the original Clubhouse Bed and from the "Treehouse Bed" in the Pottery Barn Kids catalog, my daughter's "Surf Shack" bed was created. Total cost for supplies (mainly lumber) ~$300. Pottery Barn's version: $1,500. Yikes!

I followed your plans pretty closely. My daughters love it (2 and 3 years old)! We hope to get lots of years of use out of it, it is so solidly built!

Since wood is the traditional 5th wedding anniversary gift, I thought this table would be perfect.

From the pallet style coat rack plans we saw from Ana and what she did for Ryobi Nation.  Real simple to follow.  I just change measurements to fit my space and other modificaitons because I didn't have quite enough 2x lumber.  I saw the railroad spike hook idea on Pinterest and had a metal worker down my road cut them and thread them for me.  I am very happy with it.  I found a water-based stain (I HATE the clean up for oil based stuff) in a color called Aged Leather.

I made this chair from plans in Ana's book. Obviousy I modified the back to make the skull.

Super easy to make. I used all pallet wood for this project so the only cost was the screws.
