I built this one with winter weather in mind. The bedding box is double-walled and insulated on the top and sides. I didn’t put insulation underneath - the mice would just shred it anyway. I ran the outer siding panels all the way to the ground in between the foundation blocks to keep the wind from blowing under.
I finished the fascia on the front yesterday evening. I need a little bit more 5/4 board to cap the corners on the other end. After it’s been stained I’m going to screw a stall mat onto the roof.
Howard is like Snoopy - he likes to sleep on top of his house during the daytime - it will be a little safer for him with a non-skid surface up there.
And, like everything else around here, the new doghouse has a name - it’s now known as the Taj ma Howard. lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
After all that I won’t be surprised if he graduates to the house for the winter.
