Today's House Project: Dog Kennel


For today's project, we built an in-home kennel in the basement. Now the pups will have a nice, comfortable place to hang out.

Dad and I picked up two eight foot sections of four foot tall picket fencing from Lowes. We had some extra concrete blocks I picked up from the brick layers during construction that worked great as anchors for the fencing. We had to notch a few of the pickets, but the sections fit right down into the concrete blocks. The ends of the fencing are secured to the walls and we cut out a small section near the stairs, installed hinges and two gate latches for the gate.

We'll soon add a nice big piece of scrap carpet so Tyson has somewhere to lay his sensitive bum. There's still a little more work to do......but almost done.

Next up......patio stairs & organize garage.
