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.
