Okay, no blasting my un-professional wood project. I haven't done a lot of things on this size with wood. The bracing is making it pretty sturdy. We'll paint and then wrap the wire. The door will then be attached and we'll cut out the doorway to match the door (of course). It's hot here and I may have lost 5lbs or so from the heat (LOL). I am drinking a lot of water and eating some chips for the salt content.
There was a lot of sawing (by hand) but you might notice some of the braces are jagged. I was using what I had at hand and I used door shims for the bracers, whacking off the narrow ends.
I REALLY overdid today. The palm of my hand may blister and I currently can't lift my glass of tea (unsweetened) very easily.
I know the cat enclosure looks all redneck but I think it'll work, besides, I am from the South and inherited Grandpa's inventive mind. Not planning this thing beyond the measurements for the frame - things had to be caught on the fly as I built it.
Henry county is on alert because of a rabid raccoon and maybe a rabid fox. That's just north of us. With the enclosure the cats can be outside (a couple at a time) and be safe but still get out in the sun and on the grass. I'm going to put a piece of plywood over one end for shade too.
