Dog Houses
I also build dog houses. The original dog houses were generic in nature in that there was only the dog door entrance, but then thinking, why not put in a larger hinged access door at the back so as to change the bedding or clean more effectively.
Prices start at around $335 for a small to medium size house, with a window and back access available

I would also implement an 1/8" Plexiglas window to one side so as to allow them to see out while huddled to that side out of the element their door was subject to. The siding of the houses are comprised of cedar or recycled redwood lap siding, coming with a variety of roofs, from composition to shingle as well as corrugated polycarbonate roofing panels. And the sizes are typically for a smaller dog, to medium and then the larger breed with you making the determination of the overall size needed as well their door size. And all are built with a minimum of 1/2" plywood floor sitting on a 3" & 1/2" pressure treated pedestal. Siding paper, as well as roof felt is also used prior to either the roof or siding being applied.
Custom Coop + Run
For Rob
Rob called telling me about his pink Eglu but then concerned he didn't have a more confined run, as he was initially gonna let the girls have a part of the yard that would be cordoned off from the remaining. It was getting late as the girls were bouncing off the proverbial walls in the garage. So we landed on what you see. But then he called a week or so later saying that the girls just wouldn't go up into their Iglu of which is not unheard of especially in the big middle of summer.
So I went back over as we vacillated about joining up one of my coops to the outside, or, then we thought, why not let's just put one inside the existing run on a platform up off the ground so as not to lose any run space. So we did, and last I heard they were sleeping soundly in their new coop. But then wouldn't you know it, I forgot my camera that day and so what you see is what i got. I aim to call him, as Rob was one of my most delightful customers.
