After drawing out the plans we headed off to Home Depot (about 20min drive when there is no traffic) we got there and realized that we forgot the racks for the top of our car. A must for taking lumber home in our car (see picture below). We went back home and got them and ran into traffic on the way back to the store. When we finally got there, it took about an hour to find everything we needed. We started adding up the cost and realized it was going to cost us $200 or more to build this thing. we knew we had seen dog houses for cheaper so we stood there in the store looking up dog houses online on my Husbands phone. hehe! and sure enough there were plenty of dog houses online for way cheaper. We decided to ditch (okay we put most of it away) the stuff we had gathered and went to Pets-mart (another 10-15 min farther from our house) to see if they had anything in-stalk. Well they did. It was the same size that we were planning on building, but only cost $70. We figure even if we have to buy another one or two in his lifetime we still came out ahead.
We still had to assemble it so it still counts as building it, right?

Neville got all tangled with his rope so we let him off the rope and he would keep stilling things from us, like the tools or the foot of the dog house.

This is the only time you will see my husband in the dog house.
