Cooper had to settle for a rent-controlled loft

I still can’t figure out why those molded plastic dog igloos cost $125, or more if you’re adding a pad and a door. Here’s an easy alternative that’s free. Just go down to your local car wash and ask for a soap barrel. Use a jigsaw or Sawsall to cut a hatch in the front. Drill a few holes in the bottom for drainage, and prop it up on some 2×4s or a piece of steel if you have one handy. Mine took me ten minutes to make and didn’t cost a thing. Just be sure you wash the soap out completely.
