jigsaw 11,902 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 the kennells were knocked last week and the first batch are almost finished,inmates are locked up in them and the next batch well on the way.Its unreal the mess during construction but will be well worth it in the end.The dogs are living rough at the moment but by next week it'll all be over and done with.Im still thinking about the roof,wether I'll just cover half the length of the runs or none at all.This is what it looks like at the moment,rough as a badgers arse. this is what it looked like a few days ago,the old block of kennells gone were well on the way though 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
long dogs 580 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 look well when finished Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,902 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 have a big ceramic sink sorted for the new shed/kitchen going in also,and double socket and runing water at both ends of the kennells.Still dont know what to do roofwise.It'll all work out in the end no doubt.This bloody dog racket has cost a nice few quid but the last set saw 23 years of service so I expect the new one will last even longer and my young lad will no doubt enjoy them as well...................now if I could only get him to clean em regular like. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 31,602 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I really admire an everyday chap whos not getting coin back through breeding and pumping out pups or any other way folks exploit dogs to put such time,money and effort into his dogs and the conditions they live.....thats when you know its the true hobby of a genuine dogman.......good on you Mr Jigsaw 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jigsaw 11,902 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 gnasher,its funny you should write that,my full saluki bitch was in season only 3 weeks ago and I was thinking will I put a dog over her,then I thought ...........why the ferk would I event think of such a thing,even though I had 1 or 2 guys into buying them from me,lol.you should see the conditions their living in now Gnash,lol.A bit restricted but tommorow the pens are finished and they'll be sorted.Alan this is long overdue,I needed a better system and now its on the way.Lump im going to put a roof that covers only half the run,that way theres a good airflow and should eliminate smells and will keep em in the shade should we ever see the sun in this country again Skinner go to bed now Lanersa what type stove are you thinking of?Wait for the final photos lolapat,should be good I think.
