May 2: Ray, James, and Jo arrive to hang sheetrock. Special acoustical insulation is used to minimize external noise so the boarders can rest easy.

Happily, there's plenty of electricity back from the days when PDX was a skating rink. Sadly, the wires were all in the wrong place...

The kennel now has its own climate control and lighting systems.

40 kennel doors + 42 panels + 5 boxes + poles & rails & bolts & nuts. Sure hope someone knows how to put all this together!
