Dunn Rd Home Kennel Materials…

Our general contractor dropped off more supplies to build our fur ball kennel. We are going all out on this endeavor and I know Serenity and Jaxson will enjoy their massive additional playground. We’ll have to keep an eye out for other critters within the enclosed area. It will be interesting to see if this deters the T-Gang from invading that particular area of the property.

Dunn Home Kennel Part 2

The kennel for the fur balls is progressing. The weather lately has been extremely hot and the general contractors crew needs to be careful in the amount of heat they’re exposing themselves to.

The poles that will be used with the 2×4 wired mesh have been installed. One of the advantages of using a a mesh versus a wooden fence is the ability to still be able,to see through and enjoy the properties natural landscape.

In the case below we are able to view the gazebo which we plan on having a center piece for our dream home.

The Arch…

I’m currently at St. Louis for work and checked out the arch while in town. This arch is freakin’ huge. I made the mistake thinking the entrance to the arch was at the base. I went to both bases and no luck. It turned out the main interest was across the way over a hill.

There is a museum and other tourist attractions within the national monument. Of course a gift shop so I pick the wifey something up.

Dunn Home Kennel…

Work on our million dollar kennel started this morning. Okay, it doesn’t cost that much damn it does cost some coin!

We have a general contractor that will be installing our fence around a section of the property. He will also be putting up a wooden fence alongside the shop driveway that will match the our homes theme.

The perimeter areas have been marked off for the fence using wooden stakes and string.

New toy 1960 Porsche 356 Super 90 Replica…

Picked up a new ride today. This should bring some new entertainment to the Manetarium. I haven’t had a chance to through it yet but I do know that I’ll be having to replace the rear main seal as the previous owner had made a failed attempt. The braking system was another area that needs attention.

in any case it’s a solid platform to start a rebuild. There is just enough room for me to fit in this thing. Getting in and out of the car is like my old 1989 Corvette, super low to the ground.

This Speedster has a really clean and straight body with very nice paint. The mint green color is not too common even though I have seen others. The interior is solid and the gauges supposedly are functioning. I’ll have to check that all out once I get it up and running.

I can’t wait to start tearing into the motor and get it back on the road.

Dunn home fill dirt…

Started working on the fill dirt for the property. This is not going to be an easy task. The areas I need to roll the wheelbarrow through are uneven and in some cases have large rocks or stones in its path. Imagine riding a Steele wheeled skateboard down a side walk and hitting a pebble. Yeah, you’re going to be in cartoon mode really quick.

I’ll try and do 10 loads a night. There’s only five }%#%]%:/!”: tons to go.

These photos were taken after tonight’s dirt hauling 20190606. I’m using the fill dirt for the backyard path area. I will eventually have the path area filled up and most if not all the exposed white PVC pipes showing through the eroded thin ground cover.

Vegetable garden…

We started working on the vegetable garden. I’m more of the kill the weeds and put new top soil part of the project. Wifey is doing the meticulous part of removing the fine weeds, leveling and planting the actual vegetables.

I’m not sure if we already missed the planting season for vegetables but we are certainly getting it ready for something to grow.

Wifey starting the process of pulling out the dead weeds. I already had sprayed two runs of round-up.
Wifey still at it
We have the top soil all in place now. The rest of the 5 tons worth will go around the party to different areas we plan on growing flowers and plants
