My wife uses this jewelry box, even though I didn't get the drawers right. But overall this was a fun project to build, and a jewelry box would make a good gift for some little girl.
If you have previously seen "Underdog To Wonderdog" on Animal Planet then you understand how sophisticated dog dwellings CAN be. In spite of this we all know that you don't truly need anything at all like that for your family dog ... but a little room for some customization and flair is almost always welcome.
Most of all, a bit of common sense would be not paying for the entire job until it's complete. If you make arrangements to pay one third or half up front, that's fine. But make sure you can see the finished product before you pay the final amount.

Earth-sheltered home design is characterized by being eco-friendly and energy-efficient. To the casual observer, it would appear that an Earth-sheltered home design is energy-efficient due to it being well insulated underground. In fact, that is not true of soil at all.

Dirt has very little insulation properties.
Rather than going for graceful, interesting houses that express something, they simply try to build the biggest, most expensive thing that they can to show off their wealth.

Ultimately, no two dogs are the same, no two dog owners are the same. So the needs of both the dogs and the owners will be varied and many commercially available doghouses will not always fit the bill to a tee. Not to mention they can be incredibly pricey, in particular for large doggies.
