I did fall for Lowe's survey with a reward of a full set of tools for 9:49 shipping and I filled out all their details and my credit card and they came back with the fact my credit card has been used before to get tools and that is not true um so in other words this is just one more screw up I thought that 949 was a hell of a bargain for all those tools especially since my collection of Milwaukee with the red cases is missing I figured I'd get a new set with this bunch but they just said ohh no sorry etcetera which I I I I think I'll go to Lowe's I think that might be fun to stand down there and say I'm here for my tool set and see what happens it's one of those things where I have time and publicity there were a hell of a lot of tools for 9:49. I could use those umm. and me
I hope everyone will give some support to Dee. with her broken leg.. she has been very supportive of us for a long time so let's everyone cheer her on. Dada1970@windstream.net.
I don't know how it got to be Sunday so quick but I think that Randy will be here to work on the desk which we now have measured and it will fit where I do want to put it which is always a plus... and it's almost time to start moving the big stove pieces down to the apartment. This is gwen's last day she leaves tomorrow they have an offer in on a house in Glens Falls NY I think so they now own 2 houses also having not sold the other one yet Ron is a heck of a Carpenter well I'm sure their house in the Carolinas is absolutely beautiful... but the problem now is Asheville has not quite put itself back together yet next..

It would probably be helpful if you learn looked at the Google sky view of goldy farm-let LET me take it building by building.
the house Boyne falls log home built in 1979 3 bedrooms 2 baths wonderfully accommodating to my dog project over the years.
there is a doghouse on either side of the main house---- the nuthouse as it's called was built on a slab I had tipping slightly so I could run water in one corner and have it run out the far corner.. the other dog house the deagle house was more normal both of them would accommodate 5 at least great Danes in heated and air conditioned comfort I was always concerned about losing heat in the barn so I built those two as an emergency solution. With doors only 4’ tall they are DOG HOUSES- you can STAND UP STRAIGHT ONCE IN THEM...
then on to #45. the ice tea tent.. billT from a tree that was cut to accommodate the stable and I had a portable sawmill come and make lumber out of it which then was stacked and dried for a while before I nailed it together into this ice T10 which basically is a roof with no walls. it has electricity and a fireplace and picnic tables. to that I attached what became called the G TENTwhich is a 30 by 40 area covered with hoops and white
covering.
just past that we have the shipping containerwith a floor done in stainless steel you keep the rats out of dog food. it now has many of the objects I had to store when I moved from the guesthouse to the laundry.
the laundry building had that laundry in the first floor- we call the second floor of the training room which became an official apartment-not fancy just an apartment
the ICU building was built to accommodate the U.S. Department of agriculture when they began to make demands of people keeping dogs in a kennel situation they wanted no wood and everything's epoxied and washable so with difficulty that's what that building is 4 kennels add room for one office.
then the small yellow building is my tool shed..
structurally it leaves a lot to be desired but it serves the purpose as a run in shed. It also contains one post of the original 60 by 100 wood structure so technically it was a remodeling.
I have always allowed people to come on the property to enjoy the animals and even when I gave up actually training service dogs - one of my dogs was number one service dog of the country by the AKC in 2015
We now take my dogs and several other animals to various nursing homes and daycare centers and I don't charge for it. last year 7999 people met my dogs and fed them treats.
We now in 2025 go to 3 or 4 nursing homes a week and try and see 100 people a week. These places are crying for entertainment so far the general public is supporting us and our gas bill for the car and dog food for the dogs. Goldie's farm is a 501C3 charity.
