My project that I figured would take a couple weeks, ended up taking just over a couple of months and almost every free minute I've had (not to mention WAY over budget).  Dogs are fat and lazy because we haven't been hunting, but at least now they have a nice place to call home.  Time to head back to the woods!

Overall slab is 60' X 40'.  Cut out 2' of existing clay, hauled in 18 loads of select fill.  Time for concrete!  Kennel portion of slab slopes from 0 to 2" front to back into a drain trough that runs down the center and which slopes from 0 to 6" at the drain.  So far, hosing out the kennels has worked well.  Installed a 1,750 gallon septic system to handle the wash-down.


Finished Slab


Building Portion almost complete


Starting the kennel framework.  All framed out of 2 3/8" drillstem


Framework completed and being sandblasted prior to welding on the 2" X 4" panels.


Framework being primed, prior to everything receiving two coats of oil-based enamel.


The finished product.  I have 12 kennels, each being 5' X 15'








Next years crop of hunting dogs enjoying their new home.

That is a very fine setup.  Did you elect to hold off of the watering system for now?  Again, very nice setup.

Bryant,

      Very nice setup.  Are the posts welded to plates, sitting on top of the concrete, or did you drill the concrete and set the posts in it?

Are you worried about your dogs not wanting to hunt and just laying around now?
