Thanx for reference disgaeniac.
I found the responses to my most recent hobby project very positive and find this thread to be an ideal place to post the remainder of my doghouse pictures requested by disgaeniac. Of course the original will be posted as seen here:
http://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,3271.msg36068.html#msg36068Here are the complete stats:
Main hexagon section measures 8 Ft. corner to corner and is 4 Ft. high at the roof peak. It is elevated 2 Ft. off the ground.
The steps are 4 Ft. wide 2 Ft. Deep and 1 Ft. high.
Structure comprises of a total of 12 prefab sections, that are assembled on site:
[ 4 Floor [ 4 Wall [ Two roof [ Two Steps
The floor sections are secured by a total of 12 anchor bolts ( 8 at the floor level and 4 at the ground level ).
4 2x6 Oak Crossbeams, anchored at doorways and roof peak, support the roof sections.
To meet Florida hurricane structure regulations, it has been recently secured to the ground with 4 Ft. metal stakes at a depth of 2 Ft. and the overall frame has some flex to it so it isn't torn to pieces. In addition it has sheer mass on its side. Its total weight is 800 Lbs and thus can withstand Category 3 conditions.
To allow for a minor margin of profit, the total cost of this beast is a impressive $300. Competitors who do such custom structures charge upwards to $1000 a piece.
