There are six old breeding kennels at the rear of 'Top Block' that have not been used since the end of 2010. These kennels were in a very bad way with the doors having been badly damaged by the previous inhabitants. The fencing was in desperate need of replacing and all the gates were falling apart. Over the course of December Lisa removed all the damaged fencing and rotten gates ready to be replaced. The electricians were called in yet again to install heating and power to all of the six houses. MArk, a local Carpentor, made new stable doors for all of the houses and made sure all the rooves were properly insulated. New gate panels were ordered and Paul our Brilliant builder worked in dreadful weather putting up new concrete posts and small walls along the length of the kennels outdoor runs. However the most taxing of all these jobs was perhaps the installtion of the gate panels and fencing. As Christmas fast approached  Jon and Kath erected new chainlink fencing to finish off the units. (To say we are rather proud of our first attempt at fencing is an understatement :-) ). The kennels were ready for use on the 23rd of December and the dogs who stayed in the kennels had an amazing time. All that needs to be done now is paint the units in the summer and these LARGE family units will be available all year round increasing our kennel space quite dramatically!
