Dog Food station upgrade

After getting tired of stepping on the water and food bowl. I came up with this. Cut into the side of our Dinette bench. I also have a motion light that comes on when she goes to eat.

What a great idea, and nicely executed. Can you show some more details about the project? What materials were used (the inside wood matches nicely), what does it look like under the bench seat, etc.

Sorry it took so long. I had to get into that area today to try and add some insulation.

Dimensions?

Dimensions? We have propane gas leak detector at the base of that area close to the outside. Will it interfere?

Very well done my friend. That is the smartest and best execution of a project I have seen in here in 2 years. Except for the mother-in-law drag behind RV box Bob showed me how to build.
