I made a big dog house
Once I found out I'm gonna be a dad 3 months ago, I thought "why not get 2 dogs to make sure I have no time for the foreseeable future?". So I did. Found em on kijiji, they're a mix of Great Pyrenees, and bernese mountain dog. Yea, they're gonna be big. They're brother and sister from a litter of 11.
For the first month I kenneled them in my heated garage, then I built the dog house over 2 days.
The boy (Chewy)
Both of em. The girl is Oreo, black and white.
Used 2x2s to make it a little lighter.
Painters drop sheet to wrap it, keep the moisture out.
1.5 inch insulation. Worked great with the 2x2 wood since the wood is really only about 1.5” thick.
Floor insulated
For interior and exterior walls, I didn’t want plywood because a) it’s heavy, and b) it’s ugly. I found, only at Lowes, something called “Metrie” 1/4 x 8 x 4-ft. It $10 per sheet.
Insulation started.
Insulation wrapped to keep moisture out.
Exterior walls done.
I made a divider to try and make a smaller room for the dogs to stay warm. And, I later put some carpet as a door for this barrier, plus a second carpet door to the outside. Both to help keep heat in and drafts out.
Test dogs.
