Just in time for a big snow storm Max helped me install one of the K9 Kondo Dog Dens into the wall of my barn building. The dog can get inside and out of the weather but just in the dog house. It took some fine tuning with the barn wood and studs to get the dog door to swing freely. I ended up mounting the dog door on the exterior of the 2×6 wall and the actual dog house is attached to the interior of the barn. My american brittany Annie layed claim to the new dog house before the install was even complete. To further insulate from the cold I placed a 3 inch layer of pine shavings in the floor of the box. Warm and Cozy.
