Productive Procrastination!

Doing better today.

I emailed Des and my uncle W about my lighting dilemmas, so I can get advice from actual professional people (a theatre lighting person and an architect, respectively). YAY for knowing nice, interesting people!

As a byproduct of that, I now have an annotated floor plan, so if anyone is curious I can post that somewhere.

Also, one

I would be interested in seeing your annotated plans! And hooray for nice bus drivers!

But mooooo about Monkey. :( I absolutely adore the idea of cat gyms and have been thinking for a while now about trying to install something like that in my own house (especially because of Izzy's energy levels, but also because she and Toast both like 'being high'), so would love to see you implement it in yours. Not the least of which because I can see how you decide to do it and perhaps learn tips or what not to do. >:)

LOL, if I build something I'll exhaustively detail the process, I'm sure! I've been looking at cat trees and all, but they're SO expensive for what they are -- sturdy base and scrap carpeting.

I think I'll start with a series of carpeted shelves attached to the wall, so they can get up to one of the high windows... and maybe across to a bookshelf. I'll start playing with ideas more once the furniture's actually in there and I see what room I have. I kind of like the idea of giving them a high, out-of-the-way place in the studio... as long as they don't play Death From Above with me!

I'll post the plans! I just realized that I'm not sure how best to share a pdf, so I'll need to make 'em a giiiiaaant jpg. :P

My kitties have no tree. :( There isn't much ROOM for one at present, and they do currently get to go outside and enjoy real trees. They also nest in the pile of unfolded clothes perpetually atop my dresser, which is in shadow in the closet. When the studio is done and I move the dresser out of the closet they're going to be peeved. I'd like somewhere for them to be high and out of the way in the dining room, but, again, a drafting table destined for the studio is taking up space there now
