I am a country guy. I want to move to the city. I was born and raised on a farm with horses. My family has experience in the horse business. I am in college. I study law. I might study tax law. I want to help people with taxes. I live on a farm. I would like to have a german shepherd. I have 25 horses. I train the colts to sell. I live in a small town and know everyone. I have never build a doghouse. I want to live by water. I've never been to a live game.
I have a husband. We live in the country. I like nhl. I like coloring books. I have a german shepherd named Max that is 5 years old. I don't like horses. I take Max to hockey games. My dog likes to stay outdoor. I would like to build a dog house for my dog. I have never build a doghouse. I have a spoiled dog. I have an uncle who works in tax law. I like the Chicago Blackhawks. I'm a fan of the Seattle Kracken. I go to about 5 games per season. I enjoy sports events.
So, any progress with the doghouse plans? At least I've googled up some small and large doghouse models, and their instructions. They don't look like more than several hours' work. If you have the right tools, it's really easy. Just a circular saw and a drill and you should be good. With that you can size all your 2x4s and any plywood with the same tool. Or, since we live in the countryside I could just cut down some old trees and skip the plywood:):) Sure, if you can mill it into planks thin enough to lap! You got me there. Besides, I am considering my doghouse being at least 3 feet larger than each dimension of my dog, or so, because of his spoiledness and need for space. With the price of lumber going up so high, you might want to look in to alternatives, especially for the roof and siding. Maybe just use lumber for the framing only. I'll look into that. In the meantime, I see you're also a rural guy, and thankfully have experience with horses. Any way to get them to be less skittish around me? You have to approach them slowly and talk to them like they are holy beings. Make sure they know that you are friendly and that you appreciate them. Speak calmly. It wouldn't hurt to have an apple or carrot with you too! Will consider that, and try to test it on my dog as well for when I want it to come home before the NHL finals. You already know the Bolts are going to win again. Why do they even keep having seasons? Ehhh...some elements of the team are steadily sliding into overconfidence.
