How to build a dog house w/ air conditioning

Step 3 Rear Wall w/ Air Conditioner Support

The next step was building and installing the rear wall.  The wall plywood was cut to sketch.  Determine the height of the wall frame as shown in the 1st picture.  There must be enough unsupported plywood extending above the wall to attached the roof supports later.  Decide where to position the air conditioner while considering how the filter is removed.  In this case the filter slid out the right side of the unit so it was easiest to make the supports hold the unit in the top left of the wall.  In the second picture the rear wall frame is rotated 180 degrees for ease of measurement, cutting, and building.  Then the wall frame was fastened between the 2 rear posts and the extra post lengths were cut off to the top of the wall.  Next the window for the air unit is cut out and the plywood fastened to the posts and frame.
