Free Dog House (plus labor)

We've just finished a great weekend project! We made Diego a doghouse. But the best part of it all was that the only cost was elbow grease!! We used an old wooden pallet as the base. I was able to scrounge two 2x4s from work (they are sometimes used as load locks on incoming trailers). The walls are made from pieces of plywood I originally bought when we needed a make-shift countertop in the kitchen during our remodel. The paint was all left over partial gallons from various painting projects over the years. I didn't take any pictures of the beginning of the construction but here's a few of the finishing touches. Sheridan did all of the painting, including making Diego's sign. The last bit was some free shingles from our neighbor, Mr. Hodges. He had half a package left from an odd project.
