Circle C, You are pouring the kennel floors also, right?
Why didn't you just do it all in one pour?
"Ultimately, the kennels will have a two rows of cement block between each kennel, with concrete floors sloped to a PVC drain on each, running to a header, and ending up in a small septic with a grinder pump. All the plumbing is on hold, as my friend that's a plumber is in the middle of his busy season, and won't be available to assist until the fall. So, for the time being, I will leave the dogs on dirt/shavings for the flooring. With just the concrete footers to keep them from digging under, and I'll lay cattle panel on the floor about 2" below grade to keep them from digging holes. "
