I'm chuckling with you not at you. I know this all too well. First off, kenneling is actually good for them. Keep this up.
He is experiencing the stress and is releasing it in the only way he knows how. You need to take time out of your busyness (hard I know), and take him to the park and run him. He needs that extra assurance right now.
Does Kersey have obedience training behind him. If not GET SOME! This will help immensly.
Get a can and fill it with marbles or things that will make a loud rattle. When you see him starting to act out his boredom, toss the can towards him and command "NO" very sternly. Then place him in a "DOWN STAY". Do not release him until you are ready.
When you move into your new home, kennel him up while you are gone. Work him by stepping outside the house and a short ways down the block (so he can't see you out the window). Wait for about 10 minutes and return. If he hasn't torn anything apart, praise. Continue this for about a week then extend the period outside longer. He will eventually catch on.
Good luck.
