Good starter catio and good for you for doing it yourself. Lots of thinking goes into these projects. I believe in time you will get rid of the wood chips as they are not comfortable to the cat, encourage bugs and mold and my cats decided anything except concrete blocks made a wonderful litterbox (yuck). Plus, they loved lounging on the concrete floor and the blocks were easy to set in (plus easy to clean). Also that screen just isn't going to last (again, speaking from experience). Good 14-16 welded wire works better. To make it more bug proof, you could add a garage door screen, or door screens (Velcro or magnetic) or even build separate framed screens that can be put in and out. Window screening alone will not keep the cats safe and other animals out and I found that even the pet screening did not stand up to determined cat claws. Best to you and thank you for sharing the whole build.

Window mesh? He's one nail away from escaping

Great job on your creative problem solving your grandfather would be very proud😊😊😊

I like this...she points out mistakes.. I would have done the same mistakes and this gives you a heads up in what may happen. Good job....

Love the foreman scratching at the window. What a great gift! Thanks for sharing.

Great job 👍

I loved this Rigel. You are a great storyteller and I especially liked how you were so willing to talk about the mistakes you made and your learning process.

Hello fellow Canadian! Good job problem solving and it's awesome to see you progressing with your skills🙂👍

😊😊Great job. Definitely needs climbing steps and maybe a high level perch and walkway so he can look down on his kingdom. ❤❤

Great job! I hope you stick with it. I’m not sure what type of screws you are using. But I have stopped using Philips head. And switched to both square and torx drive screws. It has all but eliminated the problem of cam out. And stripping the screws. Most of the wording channels have as well. Fisher’s shop always ads one of his grandfathers flat head screws. Lincoln st wood works is great for tips and ideas as well. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

New subscriber after watching the earlier video on the workshop. No doubt Wasabi will enjoy his new outdoor space. I laughed at the wind turning the roof panels into kites as it reminded me of a similar thing when a buddy and I were loading sheets of drywall in some high winds. A safety tip about using the hand drill/driver, position the hand holding the piece farther away in case the bit slips (or a drill bit unexpectedly snaps), particularly when your weight is on the drill. See the 10:40 mark on the video. Happy building!

I like that she dares to do this. Most women wouldn't. It will also lead to greater projects on her part. Very good......

Very good, real world build there.

Looks like foreman Wasabi approves! This was a really fun and informative watch.

This was so interesting Rigel! You are such a great storyteller! Loved it! 🤓

Great job with your videos! Keep it up. I think you are on to something! 🙂

Good job. You can always get advice from your subscribers & other KZfaq wood workers. I think you should invest in some clamps & a Kreg pocket hole jig. Keep practicing getting your screws in straight...

Great stuff. Do yourself a favor and use square or torx screws and your cam out problems will be a thing of the past. Another favor is to get an impact driver for driving screws. They are a real game changer, you'll see. :)

How do you keep bees out?

So, um, how juicy is... I mean, how heavy is that cat? Asking for a friend.
