Here is the latest development on the dog house. It's coming along! The left side of the roof has tar paper stapled down. The asphalt shingles will lay on top. I got an open case of shingles from Lumberman's warehouse that would have normally cost $50 for a grand total of $7. I got the tar paper for free from the scrap bin at HomeCo. The only thing I had to pay full price for was the metal flashing that goes around the outside lip of the roof to keep rain off. All said and done, the roof alone will weigh about 100 pounds.
Here is the underside view of the removeable roof. I added the 2 x 4's as support to the eaves of the roof because when I first picked it up, the roof split right down the middle. Yowsers! Hopefully, it's solid now.
Here is the last wall I insulated. The toughest as well, due to the angled cuts for the gabled roof. Sunny said it had to have a pitched roof, so that is what I did. I ended up using 40 feet of R11 insulation on this doghouse. That's the same stuff you would use in a regular house. It is rated down to 0 degrees F. That should keep Soldier toasty warm during the chilly Flagstaff months.

That dog house is amazing. It looks like you have done such a fabulous job. It really looks so precise and professional. I can't believe the roof will weigh 100 pounds. How much will the whole dog house weigh when it is finished?
And what could be cuter than a beekeeper and his darling little bee!!!!! Darling picture!
wow, jacob i'm impressed!
