Free dog house (actually an old rabbit hutch)
Pulled off rotting board and added new 2x4 and a 2x6 (the 2x6 is because the upper frame was rotting for about an inch and so I had to cut part of it off too. So it is for support.)
This piece of wood came from some cabinets that my husband pulled out of an old house on a side job. I pulled off the lattice and used it for a ladder up to the roost.
Another piece of the cabinet.
Makes a GREAT, cleanable floor...
Closed one hole and made a door with the other.
The screen on top and the carpet are to help with sprinkling and shade.
I closed it up before I got a good picture of the roost. I will be painting it and adding a REAL run. But for now they are so happy to be outside. And my family is thrilled that I will be able to do laundry again. (their brooder was sitting on the washer)
Total cost: Nothing but time and a little sweat. Maybe some blood from a splinter or two....But those I can afford.
