Something simple ... a kennel for the pooch. Currently she lives in one of those large two piece plastic moulded things that we keep under a rear covered paved area.

Holly is a labrador and dropping hair is a major issue with her, so I suggested I build a nice kennel for her, insulated and weather proof and place it in a shady spot in the garden under the trees.

What was going to be a simple affair is now growing into a major build ... floor insulation, front covered verandah with a "naughty gate", flush mounted water bowl, winter door flaps (thinking perspex on some light two way hinges that can be pinned open).

There's a couple of things I need to finish before I start this ... plenty of time for constructive or crazy suggestions  [smile]
 
sounds like you need planning permision for that , its going to be huge.
sounds like a great project. maybe some underfloor heating. both for the dog and yourself . just in case
 
Sounds like it will swallow up a lot of your spare time.  What is your major concern ?  Here it would be wind & rain.  I presume heat will be an issue where you are.

Kev,

Here is a link for you.  Guy's doghouse is also in this link:  Luxury Dog Houses

Every one of those are better than the shack my wife and I live in!

Found a story about a woman having a have million dollar resort style kennel built - complete with retina scanner security so other dogs could get in.

The K9 has morphed from man's best friend to woman's fashion accessory  [sad]
 
Here's what I (finally) built for our "Bear" over Christmas. When the doggie door is unblocked, he has the "worlds largest" doghouse. I even put a small shrub in there for him to "water" when he needs to. I just have to remember to not leave little wood scraps lying around that he likes to chew on:

Weather front from Russia came to Finland this weekened, -25 Celsius degrees today.  ;D
It can get a lot colder than that in Russia however, depending on the place - whereabouts in Russia do you rule Rembo?
