Waiting for the right opprotunity

I've been looking and looking for a building for the doggie barn.  Checking everyday on Craigs list and other places for a shed, barn, garage, trailer or something that can be converted or remodeled into a doggie barn for the hounds.  The reason for the barn is because in the winter it can get pretty cold here in Fairbanks and this would be a way to comfortably house the dogs out of the weather. They are a hound cross and some have fairly short hair.  Most can live in the house and are house trained, but it would be better for both the dogs and the kids for them to have their own space. 

Well after weeks and weeks of searching and patience, I found two atcos that will be perfect for the dogs. My uncle will be able to move the trailers to our place next weekend.  It has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom a kitchen and living room.  It has a heater as well as an area to put a wood stove.  Just need to keep my eye out for a wood stove for a back up heat source.  There is enough room to properly store the equipment such as sleds and runners, harnesses and lines.  Its wired so we can even wax the runners right in the unit as well.  I could have imagined a more perfect place for the dogs and a more perfect guy than my uncle Al Probert to move it for us. 

I want to thank my dad for taking the time to help check out the atcos and to my uncle Al in advance for him moving the units to my place.  And to Curtis and Shannon for lending us the bobcat to prepare things for the trailers. Wish us luck on the big project next weekend. 

In the mean time we placed the posts for the fenced in yard, expanded the drive way for the atcos to make it in, moved the dog box to the new trailer and continue to train the dogs and do the daily chores.  Fun Fun!  and snow is right around the corner.  Little bits of snow falling today. Nothing big, but just a glimpse of whats to come soon.  It hailed last week another sure sign that it will be here for good in no time.
