January 2008 – In November we decided to use Chris Thompson. Chris and his crew recently finished the Eastham Historical Schoolhouse renovations, as well as The Inn at the Oaks in Eastham. We are very excited about working with him.

Kirsten is securing our funding and we are still finalizing the details. Ron Peterson of Atlantic Well in Eastham has been educating us on an open-loop geo-thermal heat system. Tom Brady, Brady Construction, will be installing our new septic system soon. Later on down the road, our goal is to add a wetlands and a composting system that will make good use of our brown water and our poop!

If you haven’t noticed, the barn came down to make room for the new kennel.  Peter McDonald, our architect, drew plans for a fabulous new kennel building that will eventually connect with the current kennel. The plan is to build the new part first and then renovate the old section.

Kirsten has also been hard at work doing as much as she can to get ready for construction. Unfortunately, that means the cat room is no longer in operation and is completely ripped apart. Our feline clients have, for the most part, been very understanding, but we sure do miss them!

Stay tuned for more updates as they happen.

Fall 2007 - Our bids are coming in over the next few days and we will be deciding on a builder! Yeah! Our next step is to tackle the bank and the loan process.

If this seems to be taking forever, it is for us too! However, we are taking our time to ensure that all of our decisions are the right decisions. We are doing a ton of reading and talking with people, so bear with us please!
