We have been out looking at housing for the rescued animals from several different builders & suppliers in order to decide on how we should set that aspect up, now that we have put an offer on a piece of land (owner of land came back to us & the submitters of the two other offers this past Friday, asking we each submit our best & final offer by 5 PM tomorrow afternoon 10/17/2022).
We have now thought about the possibility of ruling out having a central building to house the various animals, along with the office, & probably go with separate smaller structures for the animal housing, & a separate structure for the office. The final decision will be made based on a firm accepted contract in hand for the land & that corresponding cost (along with the total cost of improvements to the land, including the various infrastructure components), the total cost of the separate office structure, & the combined costs of the separate animal housing structures.
The structure for the dogs (size depending on total final preliminary cost of entire project) will look as below:
The shell structure for
cats & other small domesticated animals, before the holding cages & completion of the interior walls, etc., will look as below (included picture of the holding cages as well, & size of all of this depends on total final preliminary cost of entire project):
The structure for the
office, including sleeping quarters for attendant on duty, will look as below & again, size depends on total preliminary costs of entire project:
For
small livestock (goats, etc.), I will personally construct their shelter & roaming areas; the specifications of this will come later once the total preliminary costs of all the above can be more definitive.
I will keep everyone updated as continued progress is made...
