[@ken9720]

Suggestion: If you can put up a couple of tall plants to increase the shade of the area that dog house is placed it will help keep it cooler. That brick wall + Dark colors on the dog house are going to absorb/reflect heat all day and for most of the night. A temporary solution would be a deck umbrella.

[@modustrial]

Good idea!

[@AutoMotivate]

I like the idea of the Net shade that is suspended on metal poles.

[@helenmira7218]

I agree. The pool needs shade. It's a shallow tub, so sunlight will keep it warm. No fun for Tex.

[@jimmesch]

8:30 if you want it too stay cool in the summer you should've painted the outside white. The interior color doesn't really matter, since there wont be much light there to reflect or absorb anyway

[@pushywhisk]

Dave: outside white inside brown like Michael Jack.

[@tomjakobs7468]

Ya was gonna ask the same thing. Still an amazing dog house regardless!

[@ericng8811]

Can try heat reflective paint

[@debdennison6947]

I was going to say the same thing. A black house is a solar gain house and that amount of insulation isn't enough to compensate for the heat that the black paint will retain.

[@Quick_Blitz]

if he put tiles it would be a lot cooler

[@MonicalovesTAEMIN]

Wow 😮, I just watched Drew Builds Stuff building his dog’s house and then your video popped. It’s really nice to see how caring pet owners are. The pool was a great addition to help your dog cool down. Drew mainly focused on keeping his dog warm. I don’t have a dog, but when I do and depending where I live, I’ll follow your building plan or Drew Builds Stuff’s.

[@tonerbro1222]

Suggestion: you could make gutters and the rain water would go to the pool it would be tough but awesome btw love the vide

[@modustrial]

Good idea!

[@BLBlackDragon]

While this was more of a "for fun" project, you have all the basic techniques used in building sheds pretty well nailed down. About the only thing I might have done differently was to build the window in the shop, as a two layer pane with weather sealing. Not a true insulated window, but significantly more insulated than a single pane. It looks like Tex is enjoying it, which is the end goal. So, good work.

[@venoltar]

I agree, this is certainly more than enough for one good boy :) I think you got all the main points of concern, about the only thing I would add, is to consider adding insulation in to the voids at the corners before adding the exterior, but it shouldn't make a huge difference.

[@maurygeerts]

Whoever designed the ariat logo needs a raise

[@Maximusrex4575]

I might have considered is two layers of insulation since it looks like it would have fit, and that would have upped the r-factor a good amount. I think I would have also placed an interior ceiling to prevent any possibility of foam getting chewed, or falling and getting chewed.

[@RichardCox0]

I wouldn’t recommend real ivy here but there are old brick buildings in Denmark where the ivy is kept and only trimmed occasionally as the bricks are too dense for the vines to damage it and the leaves form a protective barrier against wind and rain which otherwise erodes the brick over time. I do believe it heavily depends on the bricks and the ivy though.

[@markkjacobson]

Amazing work. Won't the black paint absorb more heat?

[@tinystar3010]

It definitely will. It'll cook the interior hotter than the actual air temp outside.

[@thelilmilkman]

That’s what I was thinking, it should be white if he wants Tex to cool down in it.

[@tynslyloki3491]

Tex said: I don't need LED but heating system in the shed. Nice job on the pool! But I feel it would turn into a hot zekusi in the summer sun and an icy tub in the winter.

[@jillbritton2676]

I’m sure you painted the outside black for aesthetic reasons but white would keep the inside of the doghouse cooler.

[@jasangrey6729]

thought the same. Also the roof material will absorb the heat like crazy....

Agree! On blk on inside, white on outside.

[@stevejohnson1685]

8:35 If you had wanted it to stay cool in the summer, you might have painted the outside a much lighter, reflective (i.e. white) color.

[@catherinemushaw1956]

I seriously hope you put a floor heating system in for your fur baby ... cold weather is not good for a dog as they age ... plus it will make them feel oh, so good. Also, I noticed that you could have doubled the insulation ... creating an increased R factor ... lastly, paint the dog house white to deflect the suns rays and help to keep it cooler in the summer months, as you are probably aware that roofs are Hot in summer months. But besides my observations that is one really nice dog house. Love the pool idea ❤ I think that I am going to try and build something similar to the pool. I am not a seasoned carpenter but I recently started to attempt a chair project. Thanks for sharing your information and giving us(me) inspiration ❤ Cheers 🍻 from Pennsylvania.

[@hollosphere]

As a four-times-per-week volunteer at our local animal shelter, can I just say WOW! Congratulations to Tex on winning the jackpot in doggo daddies! I hope Tex gets lots of use out of his swank pad. Are you at all concerned about cleaning the inside the doghouse, considering it's a bit difficult for a human-sized critter to get into? Maybe hinge the roof for easier access? Or perhaps Tex is a very clean gentleman and it's not a worry. #adoptdon'tshop #shelterdogs

3 of my 4 rescues came from really bad situations, the first 3 are so thankful. The 4th was deaf and pulled into an amazing shelter right away. I’m forever thankful she’s never known the hardship the other 3 have had to endure, but her attitude is completely different than the rest, takes everything for granted, not a problem, just amazing to see the difference. No, it’s not because she’s deaf, she’s my second deaf pup, one of the three was deaf, we use sign to communicate. Rescues forever.

[@FallenEmberEclipse]

Wow I’m just In shock This looks Amazing

[@modustrial]

Thank you!

[@alexanderson2595]

This is an awesome idea. It's so nice to see how much you care about tex. Its great that you have lots of grass however on the decking and particularly in the penthouse, it's quite a slippery floor for dogs. This could result in Tex having quite significant joint pain in the future. Maybe some kind of memory foam mattress or carpet in the dog house to make it more comfortable for him and reduce that joint pain.

[@andrewbushey5288]

Wow the things people do for dogs😂😂❤❤

[@LordBoZman]

Loved the design overall, I'm glad you could fit in there, otherwise for someone like me I'd have had to hinge/hatch the roof to open it up in case I had to clean up in there. Also glad to know this was a challenge for charity

[@hoguemr]

That's a great idea. I guess you could do some kind of deal along the top of the wall with latches to keep pressure on and keep water out.

[@TinyTaco1342]

This man is so wholesome, and this is very creative and cool for him to take this much effort for his dog! You are amazing man.

For sure cover the wiring on the inside so he doesn’t chew through it and a nice plush bed on the inside so he’s comfortable to sleep. This was a dope build.

[@sniperstalker1538]

Hello there ! great video, you are really caring for your dog ! Nevertheless, I can't stop but wonder why you paint the interior white and not the exterior ! Black paint is absorbing all of the heat, unlike white. painting white inside will not change a lot I believe, isn't it ? Also, puting a small guter could be cool to do rainwater catchment, either to fil the tub or a small water funtain for your dog (after filtration maybe ? not a water expert). On whole other lever, you already put solar, why not adding a small box to put a cooling system for the tub ? you could cool the tub for your dog during the heat waves and use it to cool beverages when you intertain ! Good luck for the rest of your projects !

[@ivanshires1139]

This person has great ideas

[@modustrial]

Good idea for the tub! Regarding the black exterior... It's a balance of aesthetics and function. With the insulation I crawled inside on a 95° day and the inside of the dog house was at least 10 to 15° cooler with the fans moving air nicely through there

[@sniperstalker1538]

@@modustrial You are always fusing usefull with beautifull with your videos, so I understand ! The simplest way to know if the insulation is enough is to put a thermometer, you will know easily if it works as you intended. Just FYI, a french company is painting commercial roof white and the results are pretty amazing: the roof can be 59 fareinheit cooler and the interior 44, so it can be worth considering, maybe only for the roof. No mater what, I will follow the rest of your journey :) Thank you for the reply !

The dog house looks awesome! I'm sure Tex will love it. Question though - won't the black paint make the doghouse hot? Maybe housing works different, but I thought a black box would just make it even hotter in there.

[@alexr4693]

Yep, and painting the inside white has zero effect on solar heat gain. I know he's going for a certain aesthetic, but the entire outside (including roof) should be white. Closing in the window will help get the space warmer in the winter (greenhouse effect), but it's going to make it hotter in summer. Creating a removable framed acrylic piece would've worked best for all seasons.

[@sommerlapitsky-ul7ez]

Just a question why did u color it black/grey? Bc doesn’t dark colors attract heat so if ur in the middle of a heatwave wouldn’t it be better to make it a light color?

[@sommerlapitsky-ul7ez]

Also if you color it a light color you can still keep that modern look! But if you also choose the perfect color then each season it will match! And look good all year round like an Ivory, Cream or Nude those colors would match the brick in the background but would also stand out! And in every season no matter the weather it would match! Also the reason I was concerned abt the dark coloring is bc I live in Texas 🥲😅 but then I rewatched and realized you live in Chicago and that it’s not as hot there sorry if my comment sounded mean or rude I was just worried 😅😊

[@modustrial]

exterior color doesn't really matter because insulation isolates the interior from the exterior

[@_kaernunnos]

I feel like either the roof or a wall should have been hinged, or slid in place on tracks. Would make getting a bed in/out easier, and should Tex ever get sick and hide, you could get him out.

[@davfree9732]

A single piece of acrylic for the window works, but it's akin to a glass house. Infrared heat can pass through it. The way around this is either tinted glass or acrylic that requires the frame be removed, or a sun canopy to sit out over the window and cast shade over the window. This also has the benefit of shielding the window when it rains so the window doesn't become weathered... Aside from that... just a few basic things to note about windows I learned from replacing my rotted shed wood... Flashing tape across the bottom of the sill, before glass panel installation, and half way up the sides will deflect water that finds it's way behind the moldings if the seals fail. The sill at the bottom is usually angled to allow water runoff away from the structure, but requires a divot or cut along the bottom that forms the 'drip edge' so water cannot run backwards back against the structure. In this case all that deflected water will fall down to the wood beneath, but it looks like it's easily cut out and replaced. A sun canopy might help mitigate the issue.
