Insulated Dog house for 2 / Roof Opens for Easy Cleaning / Built in One Day!

[@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!

[@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.

[@purerogue386]

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

[@DarkScarlettVixen]

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

[@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!

[@phyllisstein1837]

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

[@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!

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

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

[@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.

[@harmsworthcharles3261]

April .......April....... April ...... You are my sunshine 🌞🌞🌞 Thank you

[@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.

[@PatrickParsonWorkshop]

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

[@MuhammadDaudkhanTV100]

Looking so beautifully

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@lesterleysath1000]

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

[@mary8273]

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

[@kennethewald1189]

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

[@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!

[@larrygreenwich9712]

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

[@Jazzman5]

Awww! Working dogs stay outside, pets inside!

[@BRICOLAJELISTO]

Muy bonita Doghouse interesante sistema. Un saludo.

[@its4electric]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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! 😎🇺🇸

[@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!

[@timothycreasy2161]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@gpanizzolo6090]

Muy lindo trabajo! Felicitaciones! Germán, Montevideo, Uruguay

[@patrickwade4536]

Very nice,April! Thanks for sharing!👍👍

[@geruner]

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

[@robertmoreno3898]

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

[@bedlamite42]

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

[@wakney]

Looking it makes me confident to build a buffalo house.

[@brandenwilson5586]

Interesting way to get this piece onto there. Definitely made me chuckle.

[@apowell389]

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

[@samvoelkel2046]

That is a very nice doghouse design. Good job!

[@sharonlatour6230]

[@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!!!!

[@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!

[@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. 😉

[@CustomWoodDesign]

Looks like you got the shopbot running well too :)

[@stanleykeith6969]

Great Job as Always April !

[@davecurda2350]

Great Ruff house

[@clifffoltz651]

Another awesome project from April, very nice job !

[@thomasnewton9818]

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

[@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!

[@bijoyadkhar41]

I love that dog house my also have a dog two❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LukeRoblox]

great job April! this was an awesome project you made!

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

[@cabman86]

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

[@dddube12]

Very nice April!!!!

[@BB-lp5vs]

I love this so much, I'm building one for my daughter for Christmas. She has 3 Cocker Spaniels that should hopefully enjoy it!! I love watching you build; you inspire me so much that my sister's now call me "little April" when I'm out in the garage crafting new things 🙂 (even though I'm wayyyyy older... I'll always be "little April".... hahahahah I consider it quite the compliment.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Aww, how cool! Enjoy the build and thanks for watching.

[@jimtownsend7899]

Awesome! My spoiled princess only hangs out outside when it's warm and sunny, but I can still appreciate a nice build. Loving the name, too. Very clever! And as always, love the wave you stole from your Mom. (or was it the other way around???)

[@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.

[@arcyoon]

Oh! Brilliant idea!

[@_Merica_USA]

Love your projects

[@miguelcondessa1]

Another awesome work! Love it!
