sides to let in sunlight. Jim uses them to keep an eye on us, especially at feeding time. There's a full size door opening on the north side and the eight inch deep sawdust floor helps keep it warm inside. In the future, we intend to finish the 24' x 60' farrow shed that his stall is attached to. Chuck has to level out the roof from the inside by lifting the rafters a bit. Once that's done, we'll put on a new steel roof, then finish the outside with the same rough cut lumber that is on Jim's stall. The building already had electric/water and a sewer line installed, we just need to finish it out. All in due time as the money comes available.

About Us
- Kitcat
- I'm Cathy, a 67 year old retired Navy wife. Spent 24 years as a Navy wife until my husband retired after 27 years of service. We traveled all over from Washington D.C., to Puerto Rico, St. Croix, St. Maartin, Martinique, Japan and Korea. We re-located to this beautiful state of TN from Central FL. We live in the mountains on 5 acres with our 10 cats (5 indoor). I'm Chuck, the Other Half of the equation. I'm a 68 y/o sailor at heart. While in the Navy I was a Cryptologic Tech (Intel type). My most memorable tours of duty were in Submarines (Scorpion, Skipjack, Triton & Ray), as Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Deputy Director National Security Agency (RADM C.F. Clark), and my last tour as Operations Chief at NSGA Homestead, Fl during Hurricane Andrew. It was a good time to retire. We have been looking for this home since 1965 and thank the good Lord that we're finally here.

Jim's House
Chuck and I finally finished boarding up Jim's stall. It took a couple of days to get it done. Rough cut lumber is kinda heavy and, this being red oak, sometimes it's hard to drive a nail into. We cut windows in the east and south
sides to let in sunlight. Jim uses them to keep an eye on us, especially at feeding time. There's a full size door opening on the north side and the eight inch deep sawdust floor helps keep it warm inside. In the future, we intend to finish the 24' x 60' farrow shed that his stall is attached to. Chuck has to level out the roof from the inside by lifting the rafters a bit. Once that's done, we'll put on a new steel roof, then finish the outside with the same rough cut lumber that is on Jim's stall. The building already had electric/water and a sewer line installed, we just need to finish it out. All in due time as the money comes available.
