Part 3/11:
Framing, Fitting, and Testing
The builder tests fitted cut pieces, ensuring they fit precisely before attaching them to the wall, illustrating patience and precision. During construction, lively moments unfold—dogs are excited and curious, with one dog’s nervousness about the Dutch door being a recurring theme. The builder reflects on dogs’ fears of change, especially as they age, noting that Lily, his "baby girl," is particularly sensitive to modifications, despite having never been mistreated.
He shares a humorous aside about the common behaviors of his pets, including reminders for them to behave, and how Lily reacts to new doors and alterations. His observations highlight the challenge and tenderness involved in making a pet’s living space both comfortable and secure.
