Not to sound rude, but he is doing a good job of keeping everyone informed in the coop thread. The coop is a HUGE undertaking judging by the number of orders involved. Last I checked the thread he was getting some price quotes, and hopes to get PMs out soon.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather wait a bit longer and make sure everything goes the way it should instead of rushing things and having problems along the way.
If you ran a coop this large and felt rushed with people on your back about it, would you even want to run another one at a later time?
