One of the boxes I had my husband put posts on it so I can put a sheet over it for more privacy. I used that box for a female I had that was terrified of thunderstorms and it made her feel safer when a sheet was over the box. If someone was talented, you could actually make the box with hinges so it could be folded up when not in use. |
Hi bjh,
I used to have look alike boxes that my husband built to me... but i found my self replacing them often for the porous wood got "dingy"... i am not sure how you deal with that ... he came about with the idea of doing the same design cut on the plastic bin. I like what you say , no worries about the puppies getting tangled on the sheets... i had that worry with the plastic bins, now i bought a few of those sheep-skin crate beds that fit just to perfection and that has been my choice of bedding... i can toss them on the washer daily .
But isn't it nice when hubby steps in to help ? they can do so nice things with the power tools.
I guess the Op has a nice picture of a safe area now
XOXO
