La Casa de Doggie Grand Opening Coming Soon No-picture-s No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

The roofers will be here next weekend but other than that Casa de Doggie is done. The inside dimensions are 24W x 39L x 30H.
The general geometry and recommended sizing were taken from this site:
http://tidewaterkc.org/projects/insulated_dog_house.htm

Walls, floor, and roof have 3/4” MDO on the outside, 2” styro, then 7/16” OSB on the inside with a torsion box of sorts internally with 3/4” MDO gridding and the styro packed into the grid spaces. Here’s some shots of the floor


On the front and rear walls the grid spacing was layed out to get the opening and rear window holes where I wanted them.
And no dog house would be complete without a couple hand cut dogtails.

8 pieces make up the house

and 32 screws later it looks like this

The back wall window is for air circulation during the summer if rain comes up. During cold weather it’s plugged up with the small square insert.

Multiple Choice Quiz (this will be on the Final Exam BTW):
The color scheme was inspired by:
A) Dunno? The builder is color blind
B) Nearby yard flowers of the same color
C) A recent spread in Better Bordellos and Gardens
D) Barney and SpongeBob were trying to break in, got attacked by the dog, and bled all over her house while fleeing the scene
E) All of the Above

Standard Legal Disclaimer: No tools were harmed during the making of this doghouse

I notice from your profile photo that you are a dog. I’m sure your pet human is going to love the new house you built for him.

China is a girl dog. and sometimes she’s crazy without any help from me. I still need to anoint it with her favorite drop-and-roll-in-it funkstank, but you can never find a good dead bird when you need one:-)
