Down the Road at Dogpound South

Well another week has almost come and gone here at Dogpound South. There have been lots of happenings but nothing that makes for that interesting a blog. Since I wrote last Thursday Ella has been home and although doing OK she has a touch of the flu and the doc wants her to come back into the Children’s Hospital in Edmonton so they can watch her a little closer. So tomorrow Ella, her Mom, and Grandma will head back to Edmonton, hopefully for not to many days. Updated today, they are home with all systems go.

Back here on the southern front we have been progressing some renovations around the mobile that is onsite here and spreading a little rock around to make a more solid base that may not blow around as much on those windy days that seem to happen from time to time here at Dogpound South. We have hauled in about 300 tons of crushed granite and then spread it about 2 inches deep over the non-paddock parts of the place here. With a little watering it sets up pretty good and makes a hard surface that seems to resist the wind. That’s the theory at least.

Brenda was wanting a few pictures to update herself on what is happening down here in her absence so here is one of the inside of the house.

And a rock operation going on.

And although the rock is not all spread here is a sneak preview of the almost finished product.

Believe me all that rock took a lot of raking to get smooth.

And don’t let me forget I was over to cousin Micks for a Pool Party with her, Jeff, and their houseguests Mel and Alma. Thanks for the invite Mick and as a Macnab it was good to see that you are following the old family tradition of serving tube steaks to all who want them.
