The only neat part is that it is all held together with wire clamps and will knock down flat. Well, the boxes will. The slip on gable roof will only pull off, but it will not knock down.

Most dogs do sleep with thier heads out the door and thats why I built this one with an over hang in front ,,also to keep the weather out .. did you trap the insulation inside the walls ? If I didnt trap the styrophoam inside the walls I know my dog would chew it to pieces..
