I’ve had to use a Martingale collar for him because his head is so small, he slips out of a regular collar. He’s a good pup, so a little tug is enough to get him back on track. The big problem was when he is up against his instincts. When he sees a new dog, he’s excited to go investigate.

My nephew just called about the shed he intends to build. After my own shed experience, I am well-acquainted with shed design and build.
Prior to getting the retaining wall and garage built, I knew the shed would be in the way. This shed has been in this spot since about 1971, when the solarium was built and the driveway was moved to this side of the house. Rather than tear it down, I decided to move it.
The support structure went together as planned. Later on, I will add a hatch to the lower storage.

I’ve got good spatial reasoning, so I can think through a project in my head, but it helps to layout the conceptual design. I’ve got some understanding of Autocad’s Fusion 360, but I prefer Powerpoint for this kind of work. Powerpoint has pretty powerful and intuitive functions for drawing things.
