day two of the epic cat house project.
i have not been this sore in ages. i appreciate it, i like it, and i'm pretty fricking strong, but my body just isn't made for consistent heavy lifting. i am seriously paying for it today.
it's three stories with little holes inside so that the critters can pop from floor to floor. the walls, floor, and ceiling are covered with old carpet, and we're considering painting it like an old barn. we hadn't even finished it and the cats were already exploring it. one even took a short nap inside.
i have some experience with tools, but those experiences are few and far between. i've been relearning the purposes of ratchet wrenches and vice grips (pathetic) and got trusted with a nail gun. me, with a nail gun. that is seriously scary. like my father, i'm pretty good for injuring myself. i've only recently gotten back to using exacto knives after slicing my palm open as a kid. *shudders*
but yes, it's pretty ugly right now, (we're not carpenters,) but once it's completed and painted, i'm definitely going to have to post a picture of this thing. it is an achievement, and the fact that the little family actually likes it has made me extremely happy.
