Are we there yet?

23 April 2023

It’s getting so close now that it’s quite difficult to see much change from the outside. One of the last things externally is the metalwork – grilles for the front of the kennels and doors into and inside the kennels.

Beyond that we still need to finish the drainage and sort out the electricity supply, and we will have to bring the short piece of road from the existing finished road to the front gate of the kennels. That alone is about another €10,000!

After looking carefully at our finances we’ve concluded that we don’t have enough to commit to building the second phase immediately after finishing the first, but we’re looking at the possibility of building some of the kennel spaces in Phase 2 as an intermediate step. That would give us the capacity to house more dogs, which is after all the most important thing.
