Here it is, the finished project.

The shingles were free.  My nephew had them left over from a job and very nicely donated to the cause.

The mouldings, as I mentioned, were from my father-in-law.  They really made a difference.

The four-panel front door was a six-panel door I got from a guy on craigslist.  It was brand new!

I cut the little side rails from scrap fence pickets.

We spent a whopping $120 on paint.  This was by far the biggest expense, but I am a firm believer in quality paint.  Don't forget a LARGE bucket of exterior wood putty (no more than $8.)  Just about every piece of siding had holes from pulled nails.

I later put a laminate floor down and paneled the inside in pegboard.  We added some decorations here and there and the rest is history...

Quality work bro. The framing and construction you detail here has given me some good ideas on my upcoming doghouse project. Time I sought some pallets.
