Dog House Update

Well I finished my dog house. and it looks pretty good. I just have to make sure that my dog actually uses it. I learned a fair bit during this project. 

I learned the importance of making sure that what ever you use to make sure that your angle's are square, that it should also be square.

I learned that planning can be very useful when you are trying to use as little plywood as possible.

I learned that you should never compromise your plan for anything, it makes it a whole lot harder.\

So yeah. I don't know what I'm suppose to do now.

Dog House Update

Well my walls have been put up on the inside and now all i have to do is the roof. My plan for the roof is to cut some plywood so that it will cover the inside of the dog house, Then i plan on putting some support beams on top of that with some insulation inbewteen before i put on another sheet of plywood and shingles on top. Im hoping to finally finish the dog house tommorrow.

Dog House Update

So last week I spent alot of time working on my dog house. I picked up some insulation and started puting that in and covering the walls with sheets of plywood. This weekend I hope to finish off the walls and then some time this week put the roof on. What I learned recently is that companies fit a lor of insulation in to a small packaging. I bought two bags of insulation not knowing how much was actually was in their. Pretty sure im going to have a bag and a half of insulation left over after Im done.

These pictures are of my progress so far.

Dog House Update

I didn't make a lot of progress on my dog house this week. I was able to put a door frame there in place, it's probably about 2 feet high and 1' 6" feet wide . I'm hoping to place ply wood on the inside before screwing it down on the base by the end of this weekend.

Dog House Update

For my passion project i've been building a dog house. I'd say im a fair way through it. I have learned a few things the major one being that screws are alot easier to use then nails.

I still have to insulate and cover the walls before I can put the roof on, but I think I may be able to

finish in a few weeks.
