Dilemma: I’m building a Snoopy doghouse for photos at my daughter’s 1-year birthday party.
(1) Should I just build a facade, or make it a full-blown, functional doghouse?
(2) If I just make a facade, what should I put behind it so that we can make it appear as if midgets are sitting or sleeping on top of the doghouse?
(3) If I make a full doghouse, do I go for an authentic gable roof and thus still require an answer to (2), or modify the design so that there’s a flat portion of the roof for sitting and lying?
(4) What’s the optimum height of this thing for photos of midgets (and interior comfort for smallish to medium-sized beagles)?
