Free Dog House Plans Online- Are They Really What You Need?

My good friend Tom kids found that dog and really wanted to keep him. His wife said yes but the dog would have to stay outdoor because of her allergies. So he said fine, I am going to build him a dog house.

So for the first dog house he built, he found some free dog house plans online. The dog house was cool but the plan did not specified what kind of wood to use and what to protect it with.It helped a lot to built the dog house but there was no mention on how to built the roof and anyway a lot of the important details were left out.

So he ended up doing countless trips at home depot to find everything.Not mentioning the tools he had to borrow to get it done. This sounds crazy but even if you are handy, if you do not have a proper blueprint, the job can take you a lot longer than you think. Just because we forget things,and it is normal, everybody does.

 So not knowing what to use, he bought some cheap plywood and did not use a water sealer on it. And he did not use shingles on the roof either. A few months later the roof start leaking so he realised he had to put shingles it. To make a long story short, the plywood he first bought was too thin and did not support the addition of shingles.

So he had to built a new one. This is how something very simple can get very complicated with free dog house plans online. Now the second time he did a little bit of research and bought a very good set of woodwork plans online that is complete and has tons of informations on how to do all kinds of woodwork projects.
