I am thinking about building a rather nice dog kennel for my two dogs to stay in while we have our fence down with home renovations, etc. I will however continue to use the structure as a kennel once the work is completed. I saw one in Dunn's a few days ago that was awesome, but I haven't got a clue how big it is or where to start and get all the materials. I will more than likely have it adjoin a regular 9 ga. chain link dog pen similar to what you see at hardware stores, Lowes, etc. Anybody out there got any advice or where I might get some good ideas. Any advice would be helpful.

I want it to be off of the ground, partially enclosed for shelter but with an open aired feel, covered, and with a concrete kennel floor that would also be a part of the chained link deal.
