One I wanted a metal topped table that could be used for Dutch oven cooking. Earlier this summer I acquired a 26"x36" glavanized checker plate utility pull box cover. It was going into the dumpster, so I had it put into my vehicle. It is quite thick and I knew it would be good for the job. The build was quite easy as I built a 2x6 and a 2x4 square of the same dimension. I put the 2x6 right under the plate and the 2x4 square 13" down so that I could put a shelf in there in the future.
With that built I moved onto the doghouse. I wanted to have something for our dog that we acquired in June to have for the winter if she found herself outside during the day time. I wanted a dog house that had a hallway that turned into the sleeping area. After some searching I found one that is promoted by the Ontario SPCA. It has dimensions for the sleeping area and the hallway and height for the dog. There is no real construction plans but it seemed simple enough and I started to figure out the dimensions for the cuts that I was to make. I must have been in a hurry when I did my take off as I missed a sheet of plywood for the roof, and I was short a couple of 2x2s. Beware this is not a cheap doghouse to build if you don't have any scrap or pieces large enough to build this.
I have inuslated the walls with 1.5" SM, and the best way that I have found to cut it is to use a circular saw.
I didn't get this finished, but I will work on it this week while the weather is nice so that the hardboard doesn't get wrecked. Pictures will follow. Below is the link for the pdf of the doghouse.
