That is what I figured you woud do. You have never struck me as a person that would throw something together. Hang on to all that info and sell it as plans to me at a later date  I would only get frustrated at not being able to go pick the material up at this point haha. I am assuming that the wall side is facing North? And how slick is the finish on your concrete? Thanks, Matt |

Yes, the sheeted wall is North. I had originally planned to leave the building open all around...sheeting that side was an after thought.
On the drive-through portion, and on all the walkways (5' across front and back of pens, 4' down the end) I put a med. broom finish. Where the kennels sit, I put a trowel machine on it and made it slick as I could. Had hesitation making it slick where the dogs would walk, but I wanted it to be easier to wash down. So far, so good and dogs don't have any problems even when wet.
I would also eventually like to find an old self-service car wash boom pivot to mount dead-center above all the kennels. I think that would make wash down time easier than dragging a hose down each side.

Your a pretty smart fella with the car wash boom idea. One thing I would like feedback on is how do their nails ware on the slick concrete? I still have to clip the nails on the dogs I have on slick and the dogs I have on rougher concrete and dirt have nubbs for nails, somthing to watch.

Bryant,
We have a 6 bay car wash in town that was damaged by Ike and has been closed down. I suspect it is slated to be demolished. I will check with the owners to see if they will let me scavenge an overhead boom for you.

Chris,
You score me a car-wash boom, and I'll come down and personally play the ukulele at your next Quinceanera!
That would be awesome...let me know.

my buddy at work asked me how you guys get rid of all the crap? i told him you have it slopped with drains. he then asked if the crap will go down the drain holes without clogging it up.
to be honest, i didn't know what to tell him because ive never seen any that nice.
so can somebody answer this question for me?

Bryant, That is awesome looking set up.
I think the part I do like best is the trough you built for cleaning system.
Did you set up any kind of Screen to prevent debris (leaves and xtra stuuf the dogs bring home) from clogging the drain?
That would be the only thing I could see you lacking in your kennel, If I had kennels that nice, dragging a hose around would seem like a cake walk to me.
I have been meaning to call you for about two weeks to see how Comet and your pups are doing.
