Great video.

Looks like a fair bit of work and some real nice finishing too.....

I dont know what your materials would cost, and then your labour.

You might get a few people if the price was over $500 but a bit less might entice others to buy one.

Definitely the nicest dog house Ive ever seen......

Really nice dog house thats for sure. As far as a fair price I'm not quite sure but wouldn't go much lower then 900 all though my gut tells me higher.

Funny you should post this on the firet day of the rifle season as many of us will be living in one by the end of the month. Do you have a model that will fit a flat screen TV?

Dog house?! Dang, I would rather live in that then in a camp.

Nice work. Price it by your hourly rate. hoursxrate+materials+profit %=price.

Beautiful doghouse!
I think you will have a hard time getting a decent return on your time for that one. I am sure there are a few that could afford it but most will not spend more than a couple hundred on a dog house. Maybe you could make a few bucks selling plans??

That's gotta be too much weight wise - price wise maybe not, what a nice piece of work. I wouldn't buy one though, I'd make my own.
