Here are a couple of the latest photos. If you can see i also added a trench drain in the back that is piped to a septic. One thing i would have done over is instead of useing chain link i would have used the horse panels that i used for the doors for the whole kennel. They are expensive but super sturdy. Next step is putting in my platforms for the houses and a little trim work around the metal and i am done until after trail season and hunting. I HOPE!

Thanks. It's been a process for sure. Like I was always told you can eat even an elephant one bite at a time. I get a little saved and do something on it. My next plan is to wire it so i can hang lights and fans and plumb it for auto water nipples but that may be next years projects! :D
