Actually I think the ""Happy Spouse, Happy House" is "Happy Wife, Happy Life". LOL. In general, that privilege, is reserved for the women. LOL. although I do agree it should be "Happy Spouse, Happy House".
Also while switching 11 and 12 is Kinda the same, but there is a big difference and why it would make a change. You can see the difference in pages 13 and 14.
Scenario A: IF CH2 is the Down/Close channel, and 11 & 12 are reversed, then it will NOT trigger at all. (

Scenario B: IF CH2 is the Down/Close channel, if the Actuator wires are reversed, it will NOT trigger on the way down, but it WILL trigger on the way up. (

But that's neither here nor there now. All that matters is that you have it up and running. NICE!
Do you have a YouTube channel you will be posting this on? I would like to follow.
I took the time to Redesign (from memory) a roost I built for a friend of a friend. Don't mind the quality of the rendered video. My PC doesn't do a good job with video. Can be scaled down for smaller coops. JFYI
Last You may want to rotate the 2x4s. and round the corners a bit. It is more natural for the birds. In the wild they roost on branches that they can get a grip on.
This Pinterest image shows this. Just food for thought.
