Windy Hollow's old and new

Post by windy hollow »

Image
This was my kennel after Wind ripped it into a pretzel
Image
My new Kennel site concrete slab is 20ft long and 12 ft wide and 16" deep around the outer edges.
Image
Image
The building was local made and 12 X 20 X 6.
Image
The run area is 10 ft long and 4" concrete with a stone runoff trench.
Image
The outer edges were sealed with foam stuff and all the electricity is run and I am currantly insulating the walls
Image
As I finish this kennel I will add more pics and comments.

My Father had a kennel similar to this years ago made out of a converted old chicken house. :D

Thanks ! I got more of the walls insulated today and started putting my R 19 ceiling insulation in. I should be getting the run fencing and gates in about two weeks then I can put the doggy doors in. Thanks for the reply. :D

:lol: Yeah when the electrician came he too thought it was hardwood but it is a fiberglass flooring that looks like real wood. I want it nice and cozy for those days when I have to sleep in "The Dog House"! :lol:
