And So It Begins

 
 
 


This picture is taken in a low area just east of our house. It is the future home of Morrow Kennels new facility. This past week, we had a ground breaking ceremony. Marilyn is on the left and our daughter Juli is on the right.


 
 
 This is the beginning of the grading for the project. They needed to remove the grass and weeds to have a firm, fresh place to haul in new dirt to bring everything up to the grade we needed.



 This picture was taken early in the hauling process.


 
This is the finished project with the final grade. The new building will be nearly 5300 square feet and be an all weather building with the ability to close the entire kennel to inclement winters and summers.

Wow, what a project! It is good to know someone works in your family:) Wish we could get Slim there when we go to California (if we go). We have to board her in a little cage at the vets and they take her out on a leash a couple of times a day. We don't have a Marilyn any where near us.

I wish you all the luck in the world. It sounds like it's going to be a great place. Congratulations!

I need to fess up too. I visited your car show blog and also the sleeping on the job kids post. But for some reason I left and didn't leave a comment.

Your Alis Chalmers shows good doesn't it. It had a special job done with its restoration.

Building projects are so exciting. What fun. How many dogs will the Morrow Kennels new facillity hold?

Wow Cliff, sounds like it's going to be a nice place for the furkids! No more driving to work for Marilyn either!! It'll be exciting to see the finished product. Folks love their furkids and want them taken care of when they are gone. I'm one of those folks!!

Wow, that sounds like a wonderful project Cliff! Folks love their fur-kids and want them properly taken care of when they are on vacation. I'm one of those folks! No more driving to work for Marilyn!
