Hey all! I haven't posted in a while. I have been trying to finish my dog house to have somewhere to go when the wife is mad at me for working on old Fords. Proud to have a place to "play".

Dennis Pereira · 01-15-2011, 07:28 PM

That's some dog house Real nice Scott. Did you build it your self ? Nice collection also.

Jim Parker Toronto · 01-15-2011, 07:44 PM

You've got way too much space, wanna send some up here? Very Nice!

Scott Owens · 01-15-2011, 07:57 PM

Yes. With help from friends and my father. That's his 30 AA. That project will now begin.

NICE "dog house" Scott!

Are you going to have a special room for a Lionel Train layout?

That is my next adventure...the "dog house", but in a smaller scale with a special room for my Lionel Trains!

Scott,

Is your dog house heated

inex01 · 01-16-2011, 06:13 AM

This is some Dog House Scott ! Really nicely done and what a great time you will have working on your cars with pleanty of light, heat and space.

Ed Saniewski · 01-16-2011, 06:34 AM

That must be one really big dog.

Ed Saniewski · 01-16-2011, 06:40 AM

What size is it and who's the manufacturer? I have never seen an open steel truss roof on a pole barn before. That is great for using a lift. Did you install radiant floor heat?

Bob-A · 01-16-2011, 07:26 AM

Scott,

You dog! Woof, woof, can I come over and play. Man, what a shop and collection! Did you build such a good size shop for maybe a Ford Tri-Motor airplane, hmmmm....

Good for you.

Bob-A

James Rogers · 01-16-2011, 07:56 AM

Scott, did you get my email?

bobgreco · 01-16-2011, 08:29 AM

I wish my wife would send me to a dog house like that! I am jealous.

Scott Owens · 01-16-2011, 08:42 AM

Heated? Just a torpedo heater right now and it knocks off the chill. My plan is for a natural gas heater overhead. There are only a few "really uncomfortable" weeks during the winter here, so it won't be bad.

Scott Owens · 01-16-2011, 08:46 AM

James, I didnt get your email. Recently?

Scott Owens · 01-16-2011, 08:54 AM

Ed, it is 40x60. I built it myself. It's not a kit, although I did price some pre-fab jobs. The outside is 26ga steel, from a local mfg. Trusses were special order locally as well. I did consider a lift, as there is good overhead room. Notice there are cross braces along the bottom of each truss though. A couple could come out I guess.

gweilbaker · 01-16-2011, 09:13 AM

Scott,
I beg to differ with your term "dog house". A "dog house" is filled with kid's toys, the wife's junk, a storage household cast offs and the shaggin wagon which in most cases is attached to the shack of residence.

What you have sir is a 100%, bona fide MAN SHED!

I hope you know, the icing on the cake is to have a lift and urinal.

Oh, by the way, I hate you too.
