Ep 6. Million Dollar Chicken Coop

As the title suggests, Million Dollar Contractor season 5 episode 6 features a unique project for contractor Stephen Fanuka - building a chicken coop worth a million dollars. This project is unlike anything Fanuka has ever done before, and he is determined to make it the most luxurious chicken coop in existence.

The episode starts with Fanuka meeting with his client, a wealthy businessman who is passionate about raising rare breed chickens. Fanuka is visibly surprised when he hears that the chicken coop is budgeted for one million dollars, but he is excited for the challenge.

The client has already researched everything required to make a chicken coop as comfortable as possible for his chickens, and he has specific requests for Fanuka. For example, he wants automatic doors that open and close on a timer, ensuring the chickens can go inside and outside at specific times of the day. He also wants heated floors, so the chickens are warm and comfortable even during colder weather.

The chicken coop's design is unique and ambitious, with multiple features that require custom fabrication. Fanuka brings in his team of experts to help with the build, including carpenters, metalworkers, and electricians. Fanuka has to coordinate and oversee every aspect of the project to ensure that the final result is perfect.

As the build gets underway, challenges start to arise. One of the most significant issues is how to create a completely sealed environment that keeps the chickens safe from predators like foxes while maintaining adequate ventilation. The client wants to use an old school chicken coop style with traditional wooden shiplap walls, but Fanuka is concerned that it won't provide enough protection.

Despite the challenges, Fanuka manages to find creative solutions to every problem, and the build progresses smoothly. Along the way, he also manages to inject some humor into the project, for example, he jokes about the need for a chicken concierge service.

The team uses high-quality materials to construct the coop, adding luxury features that are unmatched by traditional chicken coops. One highlight is the use of custom millwork for the interior, which includes a chandelier and elegant wooden nesting boxes. The coop's walls are also adorned with gorgeous tile mosaics, making it look more like a luxury spa than a chicken coop.

Fanuka's team also adds unique features to the outside of the coop, including a beautiful garden and a fenced area for the chickens to roam freely. To add additional luxury, a custom-built greenhouse was added nearby with automatic watering, fertilization, and misting systems to grow herbs and vegetables.

As the project nears completion, the client is thrilled with the finished chicken coop, and Fanuka's team is proud of the quality and creativity of their work. The episode ends with the client releasing his chickens into their new home, and Fanuka reflects on what he has learned from the unique project.

Overall, Million Dollar Contractor season 5 episode 6 is an enjoyable and unique episode that showcases Fanuka's skills as a top-end contractor, his ability to manage a team, find creative solutions to challenges, and add humor to a unique project. It is a fantastic episode for people interested in luxurious and unique home builds and renovations.
