Well after about a month of building, a lot of blood, sweat, tears and one corner of a finger tip it's finally complete-ish. A few minor details and I'll be happy. The entire thing is 6.5'X 11' and 8' tall. It is built within a dog kennel that came with the house and has a concrete floor with a drain right outside the big door. I still need to extend the roof in the back about 6" to keep water from landing on the concrete pad then heading towards the drain getting my shavings wet. The bottom 3' is 1/2" hardware cloth and the top is wire poultry netting.

That window is 10X10" and there is another one on the opposite wall the same size so there is a nice cross breeze through the top. I hope this is enough, they spend all day in the covered run below.
