A Pro-panel roof covers the house and extends over the ten foot redwood deck on three sides of the house. This provides a very nice covered porch on three sides of the home. The deck is uncovered on the south side to allow for passive solar heating in the sunroom. The interior has tile and carpeted flooring.

The shipping pens are located south of the home and contain a tub alleyway into the chutes. Double overhead cake bins are included.
