THE END
Opps... almost forgot
Credits for Schnauzer Lane Construction
We (Nick, Rudy & their webslave) would like first to thank all the countless wonderful sites we visited that inspired us and gave us some good ideas on how to build our doghouse. We'd also like to thank those "not so good" sites that taught us a thing or two on what to avoid!
Here we've tried to document the places where we got the goodies and tools we used to build our doghouse. To the best of our knowledge this site did not infringe upon any copyrights. We apologize for any omissions in our credits as there are a few items we just don't remember where they came from, part of our memory bank must have been wiped out with the last power outage!
Alot of the stuff we used was free stuff... we're still not sure we understand the concept of all this free stuff on the internet (this is America land of capitalism right??)... but figured the least we can do is give 'em credit and say thanks! Besides, those of you who are webslaves for cheap hound dogs like Nick & Rudy could probably use some the free stuff too!
And remember nice doggies don't plagiarize and give credit where credits its due! The best sites are original, so let your creative juice flow and have fun with it!
