Doghouses
I’m back to building doghouses again. I should finish #6 tomorrow. My design is simple but well suited to Canadian climatic extremes. Internal dimensions 22 inches by 36 inches, doorway 12 or 13 inches square, 4 inches of insulation beneath the floor and an inch and a half or so in the roof, integral legs put it 6 inches off the ground, flat roof with a 2 inch slope. Except for the internal floor and the internal ceiling it’s cut from a single 4 by 8 foot piece of plywood, with 2x2 and 2x4 framing, assembled with Ardox nails. The roof comes off for strawing and cleanout, and the doorway is raised so the bedding stays in. Looks like this:
