Latest outdoor enclosure update
Well, I don't know when I'll have it done now. I fired the guy building it.
He had one excuse after the other to keep missing days of work and literally spent maybe 12 hours here over more than a month. There's a lot more to the story, but I'm not going to go into it. So I have all of the rest of the materials and just need to find someone who can finish it. *sigh* |

I Maybe check on Angie's List (as opposed to Craigslist) for a reputable person to finish building it? http://www.angieslist.com/angieslist/ Jill |

Chris and I have been emailing details as theirs plans there to do a very similar device. HOA issues to be solved. We got very detailed on how to marry the sisters to make the 12-14 inch deep cat run shelf about 3ft up and all around. From the last picture, I couldn't tell if the base was poured cement or still dirt. Some parts looked like one, and other parts not so clear. Could you tell me that? If you are handy and comfortable with wood working tools and the base is already there, the rest is actually about 2-3 days work with screening the last and easiest portion. Current pics would help since he's done more. Also a view of that end part that *seems* to extend into the yard and needs a screened top? |

Purrs that you find someone reliable soon. I just wish she lived in Norfolk VA area! I know local handymen and heck, this would be fun so we might just do it for free! From what I saw in the last picture set, Don, Charlotte and I could knock this out probably in a day if she has something we can safely mount a rotating circular saw on. Ours isn't a movable workbench but the unit can be unbolted and moved easy enough. That or we'd need 2 days (1st measure then cut at home, 2nd install). Then again, Mom made her way through the world with us 3 kids by 'flipping houses' as they call it now and Don's (hubby) not shabby at all with wood working. Charlotte, age 16 is handy with many things not the least of which is holding things in place while an adult nails it in! |
