![final product.JPG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FKR/XY5S/LWS5G4QF/FKRXY5SLWS5G4QF.jpg&filename=final product.JPG)
I made a wooden dog house because I needed extra credit for my engineering class and I also made it for a project in my agriculture class.
Supplies
The supplies I used were wood, paint, glue, screws, drills, saws, sealant, an air vent, measuring tapes, and a T-square measuring tool.
1. I drew out the plans for getting the materials.
2. I drew out the estimated measurements for the house.
