Dog house looks good; Ruger needs his name on a sign above the door.

Great job! I would paint the inside bottom, bed area. This would allow for better cleanup. Even a treated wood will absorb liquids. Over time those liquids make smells. A painted surface you can wipe clean. Which it sounds like you like. Again great job. 😊

Ruger is one lucky dog! I love his house, and like that it's hinged at the bottom rather than the roof. Much easier access to clean, etc. Ruger is so layed back, and so chilled!!

flip the sheet of tin over so instead of shifting the drill down to go over the bump you lift the drill up to go through the valley. Also, I suggest a remnant piece if linoleum flooring under the dog bed sorta like a dish so and liquid wont make it to the plywood.

So I have a couple of suggestions for this, I would go to a junk yard and get the lift springs for hoods/trunk for only a couple dollars to open this and close easily and safely and also something to actually grab to open and close. What happens if u are out and Tiffany has to do this and she gets hurt having to lift it open or close it and she hurts herself or it lands on her feet.

@TKCL 2 года назад

@jackrobinson6277 2 года назад

Andrew, you could cut some of the corner pieces in half width ways, and line the entrance. I think it would look really sharp with half the width trim there. You could just attach with 3 screws, so if you ever needed to make the entrance bigger, just unscrew them, cut the opening and make 3 new pieces. Also, you could use that trim and trim out around the top under the roof, to match the white trim under the roof under the porch. Great house for baby woofer.

For sure that would look better.

@genghischuan4886 2 года назад

hey, Take some diascemascious earth mix with water and paint the inside wood with it. No flees, you could probably add in some borax and lime with some cedar oil and would work even better. but dust your entire yard with as much DE as you can, it makes huge difference on bugs around house
