    Wow, that looks GREAT! Awesome skills RCGSP

    This is my efforts, the second doghouse I have built. The roof is palings with fiberglass over the top for water proofing (also done by me). I have also built a gate and fence at the old house in Christchurch but can't find pics! I will be building another gate and fence in a week or so once at the new place. Everything will be cheap wood though, not that flash welded stuff like yours!

    Nah it's coated in armortech or whatever it's called. I build that one to stay at the shop so it's all one piece and too big to dip.

    The next one I build is going to be in panels for easy transport and will be galv dipped.

    The idea of having that cool draw under the crate is good...
    ...amitie, respect mutuel et amour...

    Yeah the drawer is very handy. I've got all the truck/dog essentials stuffed in there. At some point I'm going to modify it so I can put my shotgun in there as well.

    It was easy to do. I got the slides from a kitchen supply place and they are rated for something like 140 KGs.

    At least there is someone else who had to build stables / horse boxes.. Mine took a year from clearing the space to completion... Every weekend just about..
    Mind you managed to score a tractor shed out of it at least. Photos shows 1/2 finished.. Bought the milking shed canopy off a dairy farm being converted to horsie place
    Cut it up took it home put it back togeather.. Add walls and conctre and lots of money bingo Can weld anything now after that experience..(or was that horror show )
