Purrs and good wishes and the enclosure
 
First I want to send purrs and prayers for those suffering. For Sharon and
Smudgie, good job on the enclosure! I know she'll be the queen of her space
and of course not get lost again. Now to my enclosure, the work is back on.
I found a guy who was here for many hours today and finished the carpentry
work and it looks like all that's left is the screening. He had a helper
who asked about which side of the deck posts to install the rest of the
rails to, and he said he would recommend the inside because pushing against
it isn't going to push the screen out of the tracks. Unfortunately the
other guy did one whole length with the tracks on the outside. I'll just
have to watch the guys to make sure they don't push the screen out.

Anyway, here is progress from today.

Wow, what lucky masters who own you!!! It's funny seeing a "tiered" back
yard and fencing - I've lived in the deepest south of Louisiana and Texas
where the only hills for hundreds of miles are man-made.

Seriously, though, that's sensationally nice enclosure! Good job slave! ;

Those hills totally kill me sometimes. I had surgery on my foot last month
and before that and during healing I've had to pay to have a kid cut the
grass. Another problem I noticed with the hill is when it rains hard the
wood at the bottom of the enclosure forms a dam and water fills up on both
the outside and the inside of the enclosure. I'll have to think about how
to provide some drainage.

Fantastic! This is going to be a wonderful space for you and the masters
when you add the climbing areas you discussed for the kitties and a chair
for you.

Wow, that's really shaping up. It's going to be huge! You can have
lots of fun
"furnishing" it. They're not going to want to come in the house when
the
weather's nice.

That looks great! It's practically a screened-in porch!

It's looking good. A bit more substantial than Sharon's. :-)

There are both nice but to a cat that has been used to going out it
seems to me that an enclosure like Sharon and Smudgie's that is more
open to the "element" would be preferred to a enclosed room that is
more like being inside but with more windows.

It's wonderful, but I don't think Smudge will have a right to complain.
I've looked at the pictures for her enclosure and she's got a
beautiful one as well.
