Building a doghouse sounds easy enough until you actually get started on the process.
I was an active participant in helping my neighbor build his dog a doghouse.
Unfortunately all he had were a couple of sketches.
We wasted a lot of time figuring out things from his sketchy pictures.
After a lot of aggravation and spending more money than he anticipated, he finally got himself some decent doghouse plans.
Things went a lot smoother once we had these specs to work with.
Although, this project seems easy enough, don't get yourself into this bind.
Get the plans you need and then go from there.
A good plan will tell you exactly what materials and tools you need.
This allows you to set your budget accordingly.
Before you tackle this project be sure to look over your plan completely from top to bottom.
Know what size you need for your dog, what tools you will need and what lumber to use based on the weather conditions of your area.
This is very important.
Be sure to follow the directions carefully.
In other words, don't cut corners and substitute by using lower grade lumber.
Using the wrong kind of wood can in fact make your dog very sick.
Plans save time and money; that is the bottom line.
With the right set of blueprints at your disposal, it is not unrealistic to complete a doghouse in one weekend.
In fact, once we had our plan in place, it only too my neighbor and I a couple of days and his pup had a very nice outdoor home.
