I have never had a 'purebred' dog and probably never will, but I have had some really wonderful dogs in my lifetime; each and every one.
Coffee anyone ?

Maaco got his new collar today. Nice, strong leather one with a nameplate.
He’s out of the kennel during the day already. He didn’t have an accident until... Duckling decided to not go to the bathroom. Suddenly, she was walking down the hall, peeing.
I honestly think that was the problem since he peed in the hall.
Ha ha! He was burying a bone in a chair, and now he’s sleeping there. He’s adjusting well to life inside.
It’s time for some more coffee.

@greybeard I don't know a durn thing about framing out walls, jack studs or what ever all that carpentry jargon you used. I am no carpenter and don't know how to get from a pile of reject lumber to the finished product that I have a picture of in my head. But I damn sure don't let THAT stop me. It's a chicken coop, by the time I get finished, it will be fairly sturdy and it will house chickens.
I suck on cutting angles, have no idea how to cut them, so I just do it anyway. Somehow, I make it work. I collected lumber for the day I would be able to build the structures I wanted. Some came from roll off boxes from construction sites. Some was used lumber, some were long, some were short, most all of it was damaged in some way. I riffle through my pile (which is growing smaller all the time) and drag out something that I think might work. The roof rafter pieces came from 2x12s that had been used in concrete forms and they were 5' long. I had a neighbor with a table saw rip them for me and I made them work. The grommets came from dog eared cedar boards that is used on wood fences, they were damaged and on the reject rack. (I guess they are called grommets-those thingys I used to sandwich the lousy angles I cut and screwed them together)
When we had our barn built, we hired it done. When we had our 12'x54' screened front porch added on, we hired it done. I at least know when something is above my pay grade.
This is a chicken coop. The grand daughters had fun painting the boards. I enjoy taking a pile of scrap and crap and making it into some thing that I can use. The chickens will like it, the grand daughters will like it and that makes me happy.
I wish I was a better carpenter, but I'm not. I respect your vast knowledge and have learned much from your posts. I know you could do a much better job than I. You are welcome to come help, if you'd like. I'd even feed you lunch, I am a better cook than I am a carpenter.
