    Only took 7 years, well maybe 13

    My wife and sons bought me this for Christmas, 2005 or 2006, ish.
    I'd decided to pursue my dream of training and hunting Labrador Retrievers. Even had me a great name picked out. Rock Solid Retrievers.
    Anyways, the first winter after we bought our first puppy they got this for me.
    I never did hang it when we lived in Michigan. We moved to Texas summer of '06. I still didn't put it up. Didn't want to damage it. So they put it in this frame.

    A Few years ago I took it out and set in on the back of a dresser.

    Today I broke the tape measure out and hung it.

    Door on the right is 3/4" taller than the other. I didn't do the doors!

    The left side of frame is 1/8" closer to the ceiling trim than right side. It is sloppy work I know.

    We've got family coming in this evening and with my wife's recent trip to the ER I decided it's tolerable. I'm back to helping her get her house ready.

        Sounds like a tough hunt. I’ve seen dogs in the woods but never a Lab.

                    Help us out here, Kyle. Would pictures explain your description better?
