It was either find or build a new roof for Summit's 10x15 kennel, or buy a large dog house. The snowfall in the past years had overcome the small tarp we had attached for a makeshift roof, and one of the roof panels turned concave. We figured we could straighten the roof panel out with some hammering, but what to do about the roof? It was way too costly to buy one and a really lengthy process to build one (behind a million other projects).
We started researching dog houses and just weren't happy with the cost for quality. For a big dog like Summit, the options were slim and the ones that we found seemed to be poorly constructed and feature-less. It made sense that he should have a little porch for hot days and a nice place to snooze and get out of the wind in the cool spring, fall and winter.
My incredibly smart man sat down with paper and pen one night and drafted the perfect cabin. A trip to Lowes, a few days of pounding & sawing and a seriously messy garage led to this beautiful cabin fit for a furry king (complete with a carpet and insulation). Can you say SPOILED?
His way of saying "thanks" for the buildout.
