Even though I got quite a bit of lattice strips when I milled the other parts, it just wasn't enough. So I milled some more at .25".

I measured out my lattice work and cut any new pieces to size that I needed. Then I stained them.

Next I installed the strips on to the outside of the "Retreat" and a lattice work began to form.

Using the nail gun I placed the horizontal lattice strips first. I did this so I could put the vertical pieces on the corners of the retreat. I hoped it gave it a more professional look.

Adding the lattice work provided a more rigid structure.

You are finished, that is it for the construction of the "Doggy Retreat" congratulations!

Now let's put it in its new home. On to the final step.
