Well I never believed the task would be so humungus and take so much time, esp when you have no time and you are literally fitting in 3 hours on a night:p

So we started with an empty room (unused) outbuilding, we wanted an indoor room for the littluns and oldies for winter, so we could hea the place, we want to avoid outdoor kennels and not have em all in mams house.

I cannot find my origonal ost showing the room as it was but im sure some remember:)

I wanted a completely washable room with a walk in kennels and some smaller kennels, so tiled from top to bottom.

This was the floor before we started

It was a dumping ground for crates and food

STILL NOT FINISHED:( its never fecking ending i tell thee....even tonight we where there till 10 pm:(:p

Next we are fitting a small kitchen area, doing some waist height kennels (no more walk in size) the tiling is horrendous) and a large platform bed for older greyhounds to jump into.
 
Wowee thats amazing, cant believe all the work thats gone into that. Ive see your sis and OH working but where were the ones of you or were you just giving the orders and making the tea:D

What a difference its going to make to your rescue and all the dogs that you save.
 
True, I am indeed behind the camera;) because I am nice enough tot ake pictures that are not so unflattering:p erm I have done my fair share, I allowed sis to take over grotuing and within a second she had tiles dropping off all over, she is rough as hell:mad: and was using far to much grout:eek:, I took up my grouting position after that, I am sitting here with grout stuck to me nails and fingers:(:p

Ps Bobby is reserved:eek::D
 
Looking fab :)

Slight segway in the dumping ground pic is that an extra tall run type thing folded up I spy? If it is where can I find one?? I'm trying to find some collapsible fencing to go round a shed to create a run for Thea - currently she's got her crate and a puppy run in the house and I need to get her outside during the day!

I shall ask, I am sure that was donated, but she may still know where they got it, I think its somekind of massively tall puppy pen, but it opens up to, so creates a divider too.:)
We used it to convallesce (sp) a broken legged greyhound boy to give him a little extra room.
 
Thanks Cayla :) Trying not to have to buy a kennel and run as we have a ridiculous number of sheds in our garden already, if we could use something like that with an existing shed it would solve the problem!
 
Lovely to see the dogs helping !! Two of mine always do, gardening, decorating, you name it, they're there with a handy paw, nose or tail. Chloe prefers to supervise but Alf does like to get in the way, oops meant involved :) Room is looking good though.
