The Coati Mansion

The 2 story building is up and now needs to be caulked, painted, insulated, furnished, walls built, floors water proofed, etc etc.

UPDATE END OF FEBRUARY 2012

We are looking for materials and volunteers!

A 2 story barn type building has been put up and we are working to animal-proof the inside now. The upper story shall be for animals only, Coatis in this case, with access to an outside habitat. There will be strong water proof flooring, insulated walls with shelves and ladders to climb about and plenty of hammocks and hiding places to sleep in. It will have the option to be sectioned off, in case animals have to be separated. Of course the entire building will be heated in the winter and cooled in the summer.

The bottom part is planned for a desk for my computer, a table with chairs and maybe a couch for students, interns and visitors, if everything works out as planned.

The outside habitat will cover about 1/2 an acre with tall fencing and secure overhead protection. Smaller kennels and enclosures will be build for animals that have to be kept separate for various reason.

If you have experience in construction and fence building and want to help or have left over building and fencing materials or kennels, please email Birgit!
