Finally after all this rain and the new baby calming down. i got a day to work on the kennel. I have a lot of bracing on the roof to finish, and bracing/wire work on the sides of the kennel but its getting there. Im finishing off the roof this weekend and then the doggie doors and dog boxes inside t...

ive had problems with the dogs water. i use barrels cut in half in my exercise pen and they always turn green after a week out there. ill try the apple cider vinegar.

My old man has been using same wire for years, we have a stock pile of this wire so it was free to use. Im just going to reinforce with more 2x4s so they cant push on it. So far the only issues with the dogs in this kennel has been them urinating on their deck instead of the benchtop flooring. Might...

That could be an issue for some but my dogs dont try to get out, and worst case if i did, they are inside their exercise pen still. I was just planning on bracing the wire with more 2x4s and making it more sturdy then going back through with a heavy duty staple gun and tacking it down.

Okay i signed up. id like to see this as a live draft though. i like to pick my own players, autodraft takes the fun out of this.

Ken, thanks for the comment. Never built anything in my life actually, this is my first time. I just remember the rule measure twice cut once. Ive been planning this out for about 4 months though. Im putting the roof and front doors on and the rest of the wire sides next week and then all thats left...

The flooring is the Greenhouse benchtop flooring. For the 3 8 foot runs and the 5 ft puppy pen it was 191.20 with shipping. its worth the extra money to me. Seems much easier on their paws, they like to lay on it, and bacteria doesnt stick to this. Everything falls right through it.

Well got to do some work today on the kennel. We had our monthly work party at Mohawk Beagle Club yesterday so today was the only day i could work on it really. got a lot more bracing to do and a bit of work on the support for the wire. After i finish getting the wire on each kennel side, I will be ...

if you decide to sell, PM me. ill buy it off ya.

I am by no means a carpenter, but its a good start. Ive just framed it up right now. All of my runs are 3ft high, 3 ft wide, 8 ft long. Im going to be putting a tin/metal roof over to keep rain/snow away from the dogs. the sides are easy, got the fencing for that. the only issue i havent come up wit...
