Update - April 17, 2005

The outside is nearly finished!  Abner checks out the opening for the dog doors that will be installed into each individual run.
This weekend the guys spent their time laying the roofing material down. 
After the interior of the building is finished, chain link out-door runs will be built,
allowing dogs to go outdoors or stay inside during times when they aren't able to be free in the play yards (i.e., after spay/neuter surgery). 
This winter a covering will be built over the outdoor runs which will provide dogs the ability to go outside even when it's too rainy for running in the play yards.

Excuse the construction mess! 
From the outside everything looks finished, but as you can see from the photo BELOW, there's still quite a bit of work to do on the interior of the building.

Peter has been completing the insulation.  This weekend the drywall was installed in the ceiling and the walls will be done this upcoming week.

Sue Ann enjoys the porch area outside the nearly-finished utility room. 
 

Ed, Peter and my dad took advantage of the break in rain to begin framing the expansion to the kennels this weekend. 
Four walls completed - two to go!  Lady Gatsby assists the guys!

Update - February 5, 2005

Framing utility room where dogs can be washed in a raised bathtub, and towels & blankets can be laundered in heavy-duty washers & dryers.  This addition will also allow us to store extra food, treats, medications and other supplies for the dogs in our program.

We are in the process of expanding our kennels where dogs waiting for adoption sleep at night.
This photo shows the forms being prepared for the foundation's pour.
