Canine Casa Grande

I couldn't do this with out power tools.

The scrap pile is getting smaller

as pieces are put together like a puzzle.

Every one came to check out the action and noise.

Lil decided she liked it before I was finished.

Now she has a cozy house with a corner for the really cold days

and a nice door to view the world if she chooses.

Hubby and Andrew had to help with this...too big for me to handle.

Andrew moved it into place with the tractor bucket...

talk about power tools!

Lizzy loves her little house with dining on the deck.

Two more houses to go!

Something From Nothing

I decided it was time to clear a stack of scrap lumber before it all ruined.  Since the snake was killed under the lodge back in June the dogs have been sleeping under the house. Making a door where I had removed the siding was on my list. I'm finally catching up.

I used scrap lumber, two old odd hinges, an old door knob and a flip latch.

I love power tools.

I began construction of dog houses.

This is the smallest and many scraps were used.

Lizzy decided she wanted this one.

She dines on top...her idea not mine.

Painted and roofed

with a foam cushion and cozy blanket, Lizzy now is ready for winter.

I added a partial piece across the door to keep weather out.

Not perfect because I'm not a carpenter but they will do.

One crawl space door complete.

One dog house down and four to go!
