Dog Door
I didn’t have really anyplace here that these would fit on this forum, so I went to the place I thought would fit closest sense this is about my upland bird hunting dogs. I just put a new doggy door into my home without cutting a hole in a door. This was very important to my wife that we not poke holes in her new home so I had to figure a way for my girls to get in and out during the day in the summer this is the first year they will be alone during the day so I thought and thought and this is what I came up with.

I built this dog door through the window and did not have to remove anything but the screen. I open the window when during the day and close and lock it at night. The door is made if 2 sheets of particle board ¾” thick 2’ x 20” re-enforced with 2x4’s on the window seal and the particle board they are screwed into the wood frame with 4” screws.
It is pretty sturdy I kicked it hard and it never even hinted at breaking so no one will be kicking it in while I am working. I just though if anyone was in the same boat with the doggy door thing they might be interested.
Thanks for looking Brian

Now take your hunting equipment, your quiver and bow, and go out into the open country and hunt some wild game for me.
