The poop drains will all be connected (4 of them) and will go into a septic tank. 

Jerryg

So I am not the only one that took notice of that mountain? rolleyes

coming along....

Jerryg

Looks like your going to have a real nice set of kennels!

Can't hide money ;D

There lookin good!!

lookin really good ;)

How big is each kennel?

 what r u making the individual kennels out of, is that cattle/utility pannel or a pre-fab section?

Man you are going to spoil my dogs when I take em down there. They may not want to come back home with me. LOL

Quality work right there. Nice

real nice set up you got going on. keep the updates coming

That is nice and look foward to more pics......

Each kennel is 5x8, they are made out of horse pannel, I will place the old kennels at the back, they have a wood floor and will only use as temporary kennels.  I am going to enclose it in high fence wire we had left over, that way you can let a few dogs run around and do their business in the middle area while the kennels are being cleaned.  Each section will be covered with a one slope tin roof, maybe some misters since it gets hot as hell down here!  Ill keep the pictures coming as it progresses...

thanks for the comments.......

Jerryg

Great lookin kennels! Hope I can build somethin like that one day!

A barn spanning from one set of kennels to the other would be cool, literally.  Nice!

Nice looking kennels man.

saltflats it real nice of you to offer to build jerryg a barn to span from one kennel to the other! that real neighborly! I guess I will throw in my ability to watch you build it ;D

looking good..

That was the original plan, but when they threw the slabs, I was not present and they threw them too far apart.  We will need a monster barn roof....

Jerryg

Them are some good looking keenels you got going there!!

Wish I had me some like that.

one step closer...

Jerryg

NICE!

lookin reall good. As far as the barn goes i dont think there is a such thang as a barn that is too big. i built a 30'x50' with a 30'x50' lean too off one side and now i am wanting to add on. I just keep getting more stuff to put in it.

We were looking at ways to expand the kennels this weekend and we were not even finished.....I was a hot SOB in Laredo.  We will expand them after the deer season.

Jerryg

Salt flats can build that barn, but it will benefit your grandkids before he gets it finished!

Lookin good, keep them pics comming.  I sure ain't used to seein all that space with no trees,I guess I am kinda lucky that every were I keep my dogs has big ole shade trees.

tacked and ready to weld...

Hope to have dogs in their new home by Sunday...

Jerryg

Those are looking good, my only thing is not having the roofing material right over the kennels is the dogs would crawl over the top.  My son currently has one dog that crawls out by jumping on the barrel and then crawling the panel and out about 6" to 8" gap at the top, he is going to have to fix that this weekend.  What are you going to do for water??  I had a long set that I ran 4" pvc all the way thru and just outside the first pen I rigged a float, cut a small hole in the top of the 4" pvc in every pen so the dogs could water.  I used screwed ends so if I needed to wash out or something, usually kept clean chemically(bleach).  It seemed like the white pvc helped keep the water a little cooler, because mine where on cement like yours I even would jam the float a little in the summer so it would run over(just slowly) keeping a little cooler water flowing in all the time.  Really looking good.

They look good.

We are just picking up the top for the kennels today.  We are placing some cattle pannel on 4 of them.  We have 2 dogs that jump or climb over.... and I need some for when the females are in solitary confinment.   I like the water idea!  I think we are going to install some misters because it gets freaking hot down here.

Jerryg 

sure is looking good. one question though..... do ya have enough dogs to fill the kennels? i count 16 or so spots. ;D

if i pay your gas will you come down to cleveland and build me a kennel....please ;)

looks only like about six sposts to me... but looking really good  :)

I thought of something along the same lines, but the only thing that worries me about that is one dog being sick and having the same water source as the others. I know it's probably a long shot.

I was worried about sickness too. I was thinking about one pvc water line with a faucet at each kennel. Then use a float from Tractor Supply and use metal bowls or container so the dogs don't chew em up. Then you can turn the faucet off in an empty kennel. My dad was talking about the one valves you put on a faucet and they lick to get water. That way there is no bowl to get dirty. He wants to use all metal pipe in the kennel so the dogs don't eat it.

i aint claiming to be smarter than anyone but it looks to me there are 8 spots on each side.... :o

8+8=6 i am confused rolleyes ;D popo

There are two sets of kennels. They are kind of hard to count in the pic. But there are eight in each set. I had to use both hands to count and the take my shoes off for the second kennel to get to 16. ;D

didnt relize there was two sets lol. Did i say six... i meant six....teen  :P !

Been working on them all day just came in. The landowner will not let us hook up directly to the water pump. He wants a holding tank. We were building the frame today.  We should be done early tomorrow then the barrels and fence for the run area. There are 16 kennels and I have 4 more on wooden floor we are going to move over there.  Cutting it close if not tomorrow Monday dogs get put in....we have bird dogs, hog dogs and bloodtracking dogs.

Jerryg

8+8=16 There Catacrazy, i fixed it for you, everybody knew what you meant though ;D

thanks... lol  ;D ;D
