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.
