I'm posting two VERY different posts tonight! This one is about the dog house *I* made for Minnie, our lab / German shorthair mix.
Minnie loved the chicken coop the entire time I was building it, and after it was finished, she enjoyed being in there with the chickens. Unfortunately, she made the mistake of taking an egg out of the coop. NOT COOL, MINNIE! I told her I would make one for her, and this weekend,I did!

 The pallet floor, and the 2X4s I used for the frame. Yesterday I gathered 1 pallet for the floor, and 6 leftover pieces of 2X4s. I also had 2 full pallets of wood for siding and roof. This time I did everything myself (except nail 2 nails, which my daughter's fiance did for me). I cut two 2X4s 36" and two others were 28" The two tall ones were mounted on the front of the pallet and the two short ones were mounted on the back (I used long galvanized screws). Next I cut 2 2X4s at the brace for the roof, and attached those by galvanized screws. I also added a 2X4 to act as a door. My frame was built! Once the structure was complete, I started cutting and nailing pallet panels. It took 4 panels on each side of the coop. I paneled half of the front, allowing for a door. I also used pallets for a roof, overlapping them 1/2" so there were no gaps in the roof. |
