Great week for the Savannah Cabannah!

I’ve sold 3 dog houses this week. A new record!!
Thanks everyone for your support and I hope you dogs love their new home.

Your Vote = Antarctica

As many of my close friends know, when I decide to do something I see it through to the end. Yesterday my brother sent me a link a blog contest. The grand prize is a trip for two to Antarctica valued at US $20,000. Below is an excerpt from Quarker Expeditions, the expedition company sponsoring the contest:

BLOG YOUR WAY TO ANTARCTICA
Travel on a $20,000 Expedition for Free!

Quark Expeditions is searching for an Official Blogger to join a voyage to Antarctica. Do you have a passion for the polar regions? A commitment to the environment? An insatiable urge to photograph penguins?

Post your entry and tell the world why you should be our blogger. Be creative! On September 30, 2009, the entrant with the most number of votes will be selected as the winner.

The Official Quark Blogger will travel with a guest to Antarctica in February 2010 and blog about their experience, chronicling the action, the emotion, and the drama as their polar adventure unfolds.

Ironically, this contest has almost nothing to do with the quality of the entrant’s blog. It’s a popularity contest. The public decides who wins this incredible opportunity to set foot on a continent so few have ever tread.

PLEASE VOTE FOR ME! It only takes a couple of minutes.

I can assure your vote and any efforts you contribute to this cause will not be in vain. A massive campaign, strategically called “The Penguin-Trevor Antarctic Initiative” is about to commence. Kick it off right by voting on the following link:

THE PENGUIN-TREVOR ANTARCTIC INITIATIVE

Below are some very easy steps you can complete to help me win more votes, and eventually play with penguins.

www.birdsasart.com

1) Upload the above Penguin colony photo to your Facebook profile, tag people in your address book onto the photo, and add the following message:

PLEASE HELP MY FRIEND TREVOR WHO IS BIKING THROUGH SOUTH AMERICA WIN A FREE TRIP TO ANTARCTICA. IT ONLY TAKES MINUTES TO VOTE. YOU CAN VOTE ON THE FOLLOWING LINK:

http://www.blogyourwaytoantarctica.com/blogs/view/466

2) Cut-and-paste this blog entry into an e-mail and send it to ALL your e-mail contacts. If you have more than one e-mail account, even better.

3) Make a Facebook wall update with the same cut-and-pasted message as in step one.

4) Cut-and-paste this blog entry into an office e-mail and send it to ALL your co-workers.

If even just a fraction of my friends and family complete these steps, this campaign will spread like the Swine Flu. And thank you a thousand times over for your help. I’d love to write about and share photos of Antarctica with you on this blog.

New to the blog: FOLLOW ME

I have joined many different blog networks to saturate myself throughout the world wide web in hopes to spread the word about the Savannah Cabannah. Please “follow me” if you belong to any of these groups list to the right.

 Oh the power of MySpace, I personally think there has been a shift from MySpace to FaceBook.  But, either way, my “Savannah Cabannah” has a home on both groups and is spreading the love equally.

If you have a MySpace account, please add us to your friends list.

Thanks!!

“Savannah Cabannah”
Modern Design Dog House
Plans for sale $20.00

About:

Plans to build a beautiful dog house. Dimensions are 3′-1/2″ x 5′-0″. This is a very accomodating doghouse. I made this dog house for my 4 year old Australian Shepherd, Savannah who weighs 65 pounds.

I drew these plans/instructions up using a program called “SketchUp.” I put the work into them and just wanted to sell them and share my work. My dog and I have been very happy with this design.

Cost:

It cost me about $80 total when all finished. Price included: wood, box of screws, corrugated metal and refreshments. My money saving secret in building this was to go to Home Depot, Lowe’s or Menard’s. Find the scrap wood department and lay out your pieces on the floor. [Bring a tape measure and marker] Mark the cut lines, number the pieces [as I have drawn up in my drawings] and they will cut the wood right there for you. When finished, you just take the individually numbers pieces home and screw them together.

Using scrap wood or wood you have in your wood shop, saves LOTS of money!! This is a very quick and easy project and your dog will love you for it. This secret, saves you the mess and setup of your own, the improvement store will do it for you.
