I have zero carpentry skills. I need a dog house for outside (large dog). Are there any furniture or other object repurposing hacks out there? Thanks!
2 soild boards, then hardware store tell him your project and you need attachments for boards to truck for ramp. ,sometimes they will attach them 4 u.
They also sell them, I bought mine from marshalls a couple of years ago when my mastiff had hip surgery for 40 dollars, Please be careful when building your own, because I know they will be afraid of them at first, and God forbid they fall and hurt themselves and get injured even more...good luck.
