Good luck,  when the men in my house decide to do things like that I keep a very low profile as they inevitably fall out.
I bought a new shed before christmas for my flock and I am still waiting for them to put the perches in and the nesting boxes, I have treated myself to some rollaway ones from Solway feeders. Hopefully they are going to fit them in this weekend.

I like man days because they get out from under my feet! And also because things finally get done  ;D ;D

We're having a man day here tomorrow.. 50 metres of native hedging to plant.. and I get to provide the tea and bacon sandwiches while hubby, father in law and son do the digging... pray for a mild day or there will be a lot of falling out! ;D
