A 'How To' guide showing detailed plans and the construction sequence to make a lightweight and durable humane animal trap, large enough to catch cats and large rats. The design can easily be scaled down for mice and scaled up for dogs. The trap is made from just one 8' x 2' (2440mm x 607mm) sheet of 1/4" (6mm) plywood, 24' (7.2m) of 3/4" battens and some screw fixings.

Build your own doghouse: Some of us are not as creative or skilled enough to design our own doghouses. This instructional document is to help the novice or semi-experienced carpenter to create their own doghouse for their children or even pets. This doghouse was specifically built in a certain manner. The picture on the front cover was the doghouse built for this plan. Some modifications were made to simplify this plan for the novice. However the original was designed to be 4x6x5 doghouse with insulation. There are options to place doorways in different places. There are also 2 different doorway sizes, (1'6"x 2'0" and 2'0" x 2'6") There are two different plans: one plan is for the doorway to be in the front (The four foot section) and another plan is for the doorway to be on the side. (On the back half of the six foot side.) These instructions are a guide to build a 4x6 doghouse that is roughly five feet tall. The housing area is one foot from the ground and the roof is five feet from the deck.
