    Default The Ultimate Kennel

    ok so its not an airconditioned bungalow like they have in the US, but I'm happy with the outcome:

    Its got a formply base, the rest is 12mm CD, waterproofed, 90mm studs, fully insulated, solar vent and wirlybird. The roof cladding and cedar is for show, any problems with it, off it comes and new stuff will go on. But I think it'll go alright. Used woodshield on both the deck and the cedar, seems to work really well

    Oh the chimney isn't finised yet - I'll clad that in stackstone

    PS. Festool rules! built with the Kapex and TS75 and the ETS5

    Very nice Elill, I'd live in that.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.

    ROFL, everyone has asked me that. The funny thing is its for two young, new little pups and my wife has actually been the one getting in it to settle them, not me!

    Yep I think so, I have an uneducated opinion they'll go a bit darker as they age, but only time will tell. They're the first chocolates our breeder has had in 25-30 years of breeding

    I would bet that the dogs stay in the big house. Do you just show them the outside house if they are naughty

    Beautiful dogs Beautiful house

    Thanks Elill, Isn't it strange how two dogs are three times (at least) as much work as one, and not twice as much?

    Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.
