I didn't even read through the whole thread. I am in love with this. This is fantastic! Everything about this build just seems like something up my alley!
It used to be a training collar for when we lived at our last house. We didn't have a fence for a while so we laid out an underground fence....it worked pretty well, but batteries died all the time. It didn't take us too long to build a fence, but as I said, he is an escape artist.
These are my two shop dogs:
Bailey is our Border Collie Mix - He is too smart for his own good. My Wife adopted him right before we started dating back in 2006.
Murphy is our llasa-poo - He is an escape artist, but the sweetest, coolest dog I have ever owned.
