Wood Kennel Construction

I butted the boards and hope to have just enough gap to allow for fluids to go through once the wood dries this summer. Time will tell the tale on whether or not I made the right decision or not. I will say this, this creek bottom is snakey and has alot of ants and deep sand for fleas all of which I hope to not have to deal with in kennels with them being this high off the ground. I was wearing a long sleave shirt and a coat yesterday building fence around all this kennel area and found a baby copper head. I have a feeling that this spring and summer will be a snake killing party with all the woods and the creek around me. I did manage to put the rest of the kennels on the deck yesterday and finished building my corners for my fence. All I like is putting up about 75 t-posts and stretching some wire, and then putting the r-panel on the dog kennels. Two or three days worth of work and I will be ready for dogs and should have a lot more pictures to show of the semi-finished product.....
