Ammo the Dachshund // Construction on the Farm

The construction on Trooper’s new house at the farm has really been moving along pretty quickly. Every time I come there is something new to look at.

I was admiring the handiwork from afar, when I decided, what the hey – lets go check it out!

Up close Trooper’s new house looked solid enough.

But with these big empty rooms, there is really only one way to know for sure if it’s going to hold up to the rigors of me and Trooper’s wrestle parties.

Time to fly!

Lucky for Trooper I’m such a good friend that I tested out and approved his new home for endless bounding. It gets my stamp of approval for wrestle parties too…..although we may want to add some carpeting.

I can’t wait until Trooper’s new house is ready! I’ve already staked out a few looking windows that have a straight line shot to viewing my groundhog holes – I have my paws crossed the construction workers don’t forget to add a doggie door. I hope Trooper lets me sleepover all the time!

You may recall that there are some new changes happening on the family farm, most of which involve building Trooper a super duper new house!

And since we consider this the family farm, everyone is expected to pitch in and help with the construction, Trooper and I included. I am certainly no stranger to working hard on the farm, in fact, it wasn’t that long ago that I was just a wee pup being introduced to fence building with the family.

So for our newest family construction project we set out to tackle laying radiant flooring on the basement. I gave Trooper the task of Foreman #1.

I on the other hand, took on the job of Foreman #2, mostly because Foreman #2 can get away with taking naps on the job! Trooper is such a sucker.

On Day #1 of the install I oversaw the installation of the floor insulation which had to be cut and taped into place.

My crew worked pretty diligently but by sunset they still had lots of insulation left to install. (those slackers).

So by Day #2 I decided to get my hands dirty and speed up the process.

And wouldn’t you know, with my extra help the install went much quicker and by sunset we were nearly complete! I guess all they needed was a little doxie power!

Stay tuned, as there are lots more construction projects in my near future!
