   Looks like a fairly straightforward project. You could probably doodle something up fairly quickly and easily. Or, figure out how big it needs to be and let me know. I imagine I could bang something out.

   Thanks Dave, I appreciate your generous offer. the crate will be about 24"H x 30"L x 21"W, big enough to fit dogs up to 30 lbs. I've briefly tried to use Sketchup, but had no sucess - I guess I better read the manual :-) and I thought I was computer savvy!!Thanks again for your help - maybe this will get me off my keaster and inspires me to learn this program. Do they make a version for the Mac?Thanks, Tony

   Tony, I'll get you started anyway.

    

   Send me an e-mail with your e-mail address and I'll send you a SketchUp file when I have it. Probably won't be until later this evening.

    

   Dave

   The plumber? I thought it was the cable guy!! Maybe that's why she wants that crate so fast - the cable guy has been workin on that "receiver" a lot lately :-)ATOMA

   Wow!! This is perfect - shadows and all. Actually, there will not be a door. Also, I would raise the blind panels and shorten the slats a little so that when the dog is laying down, it could not see out and get distracted/frightened. Thanks again, Dave, this is great. Now I am inspired :-)Tony

   I can't see why you need plans for that job.
   Get hold of Fido , check out his characteristics , measure him up , ask what options he requires (such as cat quarters, hot and cold running water, auto bone dispenser etc) and make up a custom fitted job.(;)

   The dog in the original posters picture looks really confused. As if he has no idea what he did to deserve jail time. (grin) "I was framed by the #$%& cat!"

   I believe the original was owned by W. C. Fields, and used for children, not dogs. ;-)
