Thank you for project. Dogs are an important part of our lives and need to taken care of. You are so kind to do this project.

[@timbarnett3898]

April, when I was in Montana's Rockies building a hunting lodge, couple of us made a dog house for a very cold dog, from some scrap! Dog house looked like your, with a single entrance on one side of front! That was not dog house but hallway down to door entrance on inside side wall to prevent wind from entering living area! Then in hallway right before doorway we built a pressure switch pad, so when dog came into hallway he activated a heat lamp inside house! Then when dog walked out he walked over pressure pad a second time an turned off heat lamp! Then to prevent more cold coming in hallway an doghouse we hung plastic & carpet strips, so dog could easily learn house functions! He loved it an definitely became our buddy! Oh, we insulated then doghouse from top to bottom too! Best doghouse I ever seen!

[@wendylaca1783]

Love your new TV show.I been a fan from your 1st. KZbin video.

I am in awe of you! Amazing talent and amazing young lady! Love, love, love, everything you do. God Bless you April.

@April Wilkerson you inspire me!! That's why I'm about to start my own company. God bless you!!

[@ericchevalier6260]

April , you worked with my neighbor Mike on the a new maker show with Tim Allen. I can’t believe how far you’ve come. Been watching your videos for a while now. Always enjoy them. Congrats on your success you deserve it.

[@trevorewen3310]

Awesome job April! Love the doghouse plan. It’s great to see women in trades...my two daughters and my son are all very comfortable handling power and hand tools. Keep up the great work!

[@danw1030]

Good job Dad! My girls are tool users also! Makes me proud!

[@R.Craig.Collins]

Good design, and well executed. I am glad to have power and heat again after the Central Texas weather fiasco, so I can get a little inspiration from your projects... stay safe

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Wowers that's a very nice design. I really like this one. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep Making. God Bless.

[@tree_carcass_mangler]

That's an interesting approach to a multi-dog dog house. Thumbs up and thanks for posting.

[@davidp4350]

I can't wait when you add the air conditioning , electrical and rain gutters ! Oh and the rain gutter leaf guards ! I sure hope I remember your new show, can't wait to see you in it.

[@Grunt49]

You have gotten more skills.Thank you for taking us with you! Old saying "The more people I meet,the more I like my dog.

[@purerogue386]

Looks good and the pups are happy. Good for you "Hollywood". Congratulations on the new show!

[@BRICOLAJELISTO]

Muy bonita Doghouse interesante sistema. Un saludo.

[@billyshumate853]

That's the best looking dog house ever. Take care and have a blessed week.

[@NomenNescio99]

Jay Bates version isn't that shabby either ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4LPeqWmfJeIjbs

[@danielsneed3235]

Might have to try Ariat for my next pair of boots, have only worn Rockies for 9 years

[@johngauntlett4915]

They are obviously not ruff'in it! I built one about nine years ago for three of my outside dogs with two openings and it was 8 ft long 2 ft wide and 2 ft tall. Had an opening at one end and at the other end on the side. They loved it!

[@geruner]

Of course you make it look so easy. Its a condo for puples.

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Awesome dog house and heated pads that’s a awesome bonus

[@PatrickParsonWorkshop]

Great job! Hope your dogs love it. I love those Ariat pants too.

[@jasonbrooks623]

I'm feeling so inadequate. You make it look so easy! BUT--that's inspirational. We have a new pooch that may need something like this. NOT AS FANCY :) But, got some great ideas out of this. Thank you!

[@zaratgreen2095]

Thanks, I'm going to build this for my nephew who has two dogs.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Awesome! I'm sure they'll love it as much as mine do! Thanks for watching.

[@Jazzman5]

Awww! Working dogs stay outside, pets inside!

[@Hemidakota]

Love your shed for building stuff.

[@l.rodriguez1266]

Thank you for the ideas 💡and tips. 💙

[@PatrickPoet]

I know I've said this like 20 times before, but I love how you say saw, and it makes me homesick for Texas.

[@mandyleeson1]

Thank you, April. I'm building a chook house and you've given me enough inspiration to carry on and given me ideas to solve some obstacles. Thank you so much for your videos.

[@ronalddean4834]

Great video April, great dog house and the dogs are fantastic to. I just love that little girl spirit you have. Makes me feel good. Thanks for sharing

[@mattomon1045]

that doghouse looks great

[@larrygreenwich9712]

Congrats on becoming co host to Tim Allen and Richard Karn!

[@clydenakashima7393]

April I usually cut my sheet goods on the floor; so I place a 2" rigid insulation on the floor first than the sheet good on top.

[@patrickwade4536]

Very nice,April! Thanks for sharing!👍👍

[@shaneoakley8757]

Umm, wow. I just watched your interview over on Call Me Mabie’s channel. It’s downright overwhelming what you have accomplished. Now a tv show!? I have been watching your videos since the early days in the little garage with the osb on the walls. I am one of those strangers that is so proud of you. I have a 15 year old daughter now and she is a tough young lady. I know your parents are so proud. I’ve told Anne of All Trades the same thing but I have spent my whole life in the trades. Residential and commercial construction and I find inspiration from y’all. I learn new things from y’all. Thank you for all of your hard work to learn how to make and then to present it to all of us on KZbin! It’s a gift. Anyway, I’m rambling. Amazing journey. I look forward to the rest! 😎🇺🇸

[@lesterleysath1000]

Awesome! Wish you had shown the insulation and blankets tho. Best dog house ever

[@RS8XB]

i also added a blink camera, Bluetooth thermostat and night light along with bed pad

[@SteveC38]

I Absolutely Love it April!

[@gpanizzolo6090]

Muy lindo trabajo! Felicitaciones! Germán, Montevideo, Uruguay

[@timothycreasy2161]

I sure like that name "RUFF HOUSE", that is to funny. I love the look and colors too

[@phyllisstein1837]

OMG, it's a doggie duplex with a carport. So adorable.

[@mary8273]

Who ever gave this video a thumbs down. Shame on you people. Great job April

[@wabashstudio]

Have wood prices for you in Texas sky rocketed about 6x regular price? Here we used to get 2x4 for about 2.20 each and now its 6.80 each. Many projects I want to get done but I cant afford to even buy the wood!

[@stevet6676]

Awesome! I do some volunteer work at an animal shelter in Colorado. I want to build a few insulated dog houses for them this winter. This video helps, thank you!

[@DarkScarlettVixen]

The first dog house build is the very first video of yours I ever saw!

[@mikencrew8885]

Amazing job as always. Keep up the good work. Your awesome!! God bless!!

[@davideastham]

Congrats again on the TV Show. Saw the first episode and it was awesome !! Love the dog house too. Think I'm going to make this one for my little poodle.

[@yekaterinapanferova1410]

Well done. Good idea. I like your work and your family and animal

[@dennishinkle5010]

Saw you on tv great job a future star in the making.

[@vicf6509]

Geat little winter project to get ready for the spring. BTW Saw the new show with Tim Allen. Congrats on the gig.

[@ryanaugust]

I have never done any wood working projects beyond screwing stuff in here or there, and I’m using your video as a rough (ruff?) guide for my insulated dog house for my pooches. Super happy to have found your content, thank you. It’s definitely not easy, but super fun. I’ve definitely got the bug now.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Excellent! It is so satisfying to look at something and know you built it rather than buying it finished. Learn from each project, building upon your experience, confidence and know how. Thanks for watching.

[@CustomWoodDesign]

Looks like you got the shopbot running well too :)

[@apowell389]

You are killing the game! I always love your work. Congrats also on your new success! Well deserved.

[@wakney]

Looking it makes me confident to build a buffalo house.

[@deborahnorthover5304]

It looks great and your dogs obviously love it, well done.

[@its4electric]

Oh my goodness I turned on the TV and there you are with Tim Allen, love it

Great job and keep up the amazing work

[@talladegadude4852]

That is an awesome dog house! Looks fabulous and a great idea breaking it into two housing units. Great job!

[@bedlamite42]

Bedliner over paint on the base will give extra protection, and some better traction.

[@synergy7501]

Your great april, enjoy your videos.

[@danmurphy9387]

I have been watching your content for a very long time. Just saw your new interview, just saying, I've never seen you as a great "female" maker. I've always seen you as a Great Maker...

[@PatrickPoet]

You can be both

[@toonybrain]

Completely agree.

[@jenniferbecnel439]

Amazing dog house!

[@kennethewald1189]

I don’t have any pets, but need to rebuild our well pump house. The roof design will work great for that.

April, bought your template for the rocker, just received, starting the build this week

[@thomasnewton9818]

Get a 4x8 sheet of foam to cut sheet goods on.

[@louroberts5567]

Been thinking of building something for our little guy. Not sure he'd use it. Just want to say, you did AWESOME on Assembly Required!! SO happy for you!

[@arcyoon]

Oh! Brilliant idea!

[@robertmoreno3898]

Nice dog house!!! Great video!!! Congratulations on your new show on history channel!!

[@HG-ob9ip]

Great work, amazing talent. Reminds me of some of Norm Abram's projects on the "The New Yankee Workshop" when everything just falls into place beautifully at the end. :)

[@tommmarree3689]

I wish you made house calls, I could use your expertise!!!!

[@cabman86]

What? No insulation, sheet rock and A/C? That is one heavy duty dog house! Great job!

[@HarshmanHills]

awesome project

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome doghouse April, great job! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@alanswift8805]

Awesome dog house. Great job and keep up the good work. Videos are awesome. Love your channel.

[@ptaylor4923]

I had Ariat boots when I was riding Little Britches as a kid. The clothes look great. The dog house is beautiful. Having come from snow, wind, rain, I'd put larger overhang up top, overhangs on the doors and a clear flap to bring down on rainy windy days. Or a porch that really keeps the wind and rain from the doors.. (But I can't figure how to have a full porch and still open the roof and reach inside... unless it was two hinged at the top and you reached in from the side. (I'll be mulling over dog houses all day.🤣😂) But it's gorgeous. I'd move in. 😉

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Great job April. Nice solution for allowing all dogs inside. Fred 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻

[@ereminafom]

Beautiful 😻

[@cherylbrown6746]

AMAZING. Love the roof opening.... that's epic.

[@JaegerDives]

I love this project! What breed of dogs are those? I searched the comments and didn't find the answer.
