I’ll start this with saying that we are house hunting and one of our must haves is a room where the dog and cat can be left safely for when we go out and leave him for three to four hours and overnight.
Currently he sleeps in the kitchen, which he is very happy with his little set up. When we go out he is in the back lounge with the cat for company. This works well. But I’d like to be able to leave him and know I won’t come home to a little destruction. He chews zips, so the cushions that come with a sofa have been repaired several times!
Also I’d quite like to have two downstairs rooms that we can sit in without having pet hairs and smells. Yes I hoover the sofa, spray with freshener.
When we are at home the pets have the run of the house.
We have viewed a house and it’s really nice. Has a conservatory that would be great for the pets. But obviously it would be far too hot for them in the summer and we wouldn’t dream of leaving them in there as it is now.
If we have a tile roof put on with velux windows and heat reflecting blinds, maybe replace a couple of the windows with upvc panelling, would this make it cool enough for them?
Also, is it possible from a structural view?
