Doghouse

Well, Mr. T has been in the doghouse lately.  Literally, not figuratively.  He designed and built the coolest Doggy Duplex for our neighbor dogs.  Words can not even describe how awesome it is!  Actually, they can.  But my words couldn't describe it because I don't know much about manly doghouse building type things.  Mr. T obviously does.  The following is written by him:

______________________________________

Doghouse for the neighbors.  For the neighbors' dogs, I should say, not for the neighbors necessarily.  Got all the materials free.  Put it on a pallet to keep it off the ground to keep it insulated.

I put a removable divider in the middle.  It's a duplex.  The walls and floor are insulated by sandwiching two layers of plywood around 1/2" foam insulation.  The duct tape seals the edges of the plywood to keep it from absorbing moisture.  The two holes in back provide some ventilation, but are high enough to be protected by the roof eave.

The shingled roof lifts off if access inside is ever needed, but is sturdy enough for dogs and boys to climb on.

The hooks on the front of the doghouse accept a shingled detachable covered porch which helps block wind and rain.

Home Sweet Home.  The neighbor boys helped some during final assembly and will be responsible for painting it.
