- 1). Drill a small hole in one side of your dog's existing house, and route wire through this hole, underground, and back to a junction box at your house. Connect the wires to the appropriate junction in your electrical box and wire a receptacle on the other end of the wire inside the doghouse.
- 2). Use the screws and secure a junction box around the receptacle, and screw a light bulb in place. Use the tin snips to cut a few holes in the coffee can just so you can see if the light is on and allow some moisture to dissipate.
- 3). Drill four holes along the edge of the coffee can, and then thread wood screws through these holes to mount the coffee can over the light (this helps to radiate heat and protect your dog).
- 4). Turn the light on when the weather starts turning colder and the light bulb will heat up the coffee can and warm the inside of the box, safely and effectively.
