The roosts or perches, which are 2 in number, each 6 feet long, 

 rest on brackets made up from any convenient material. The 

 roosts are loose and are notched and set in notches in the 

 brackets or supports. 



In moving the building from place to place, some care should 

 be used in drawing the skids and not subjecting the building 

 to any undue racking. One good plan is to hitch one horse to 

 each skid. If this is not done, a spreader should be placed 

 between the chains to each skid.
