A few weekends ago I spent two days at my father in law's house helping to build our duck, Danger, a new house. Danger grew so fast and it was time for him/her to have a permanent outdoor address. It was a lot of work, but I really enjoyed being part of the process. It was only going to be the best for my father in law's "grand duck" and I think the result is pretty impressive! Lets just hope Danger's friends don't try to have any parties in his/her swinging new pad.
This was what the frame looked like when I got over there on Saturday afternoon. I was in SHOCK! He added to the size so Danger would have more space... we want him to be as comfy as possible if he can't sleep inside with mom and dad anymore.
By the end of Saturday we had finished up the house aside from adding the trim, door, roofing, and screen box.
Sunday morning we worked on the huge "screen porch" addition as well as a high end door and some corrugated roofing. When Mike got off work Sunday night he and his dad loaded it up and drove it to the house.
We were on vacation that week so it gave Mike and I a chance to get the house painted and prepare the duck habitat. It is still a work in progress, but as you can see it is a place any duck would love to spend its time. Danger is so lucky! Now if I can only convince Danger to do his/her business on his/her own doormat!
I know what you are thinking, my dad in law is the GREATEST, and you are so right! I am not just saying that because he allowed me to use power tools all weekend...
