For when the wife isn't happy with me

It's not fine woodwork, but its functional. Going to insulate it and put a heat lamp in it.

That is a pretty small doghouse.  It will be hard for you to squeeze in there.  If you do manage it, I would love to see a pic  :D.

Jake, your hound hotel belongs in the timber framing section.  :D
Skip the heat lamp... with insulation, I thinks a flashlight will warm it nicely.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

With all this rain....ya might wanna put some pontoons on it.  :D :D :D

[DanG]

Did ya figger the snow load?

[beenthere]

 :D :D :D

[Magicman]

You will be very cozy in there.  I'll bet those rafters will not sag.   ;D

[Dave Shepard]

I'd skip the heat lamp as well. We have fiberglass calf hutches, and with just one calf in there they are comfortable all winter long.

I used ridgid insulation and I think I wrapped it too. The wrapping was to just to keep the wind out. I use to be gone for about 14 hours in my past job.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

You can store lumber in that attic.  ;D

How can you be thinking like this....... you are supposed to still be in the honeymoon phase.   

Suggest insulating the shop and putting in sink and toilet depending on the anticipated level of "not happy". :

[hackberry jake]

It's not the prettiest thing in the world, but the dogs seem to like it. I put a 150 watt light in it for heat. They always try to lay in my planer shavings in the shop so I just bagged em up and put em in the dog house.
Screws.......... $5
Insulation...... $18
Metal Roof..... left over from sawshed build
knowing your dogs have a warm dry place to sleep?... Priceless
it pays to be a woodworker.

Great job!  Gives new meaning to 'Lucky Dogs'!

I built a nice insulated house like that for Miss Scarlet, but she ended up just sleeping in the leaves.  No gratitude  .
