Day: August 4, 2015

We needed a good place for the cat box. There’s three cats these days so there’s a lot of input/output.

It’s got to be accessible for cleaning, but hopefully out of the way. We decided to sacrifice the pantry (or at least the bottom fifth). I had a wild idea of cutting a hole giving access to the crawl space under the stairs with a cleaning access door in the garage. BUT in a moment of uncharacteristic caution I thought that I might compromise the firewall aspect of the whole “garage thing”. Scraped that idea and put a cat door in the pantry.

I have a vent for getting some those fumes out, but I’m unsure of where (what) to do that.

Chase helped out and learned how to: 1) Take a door off it’s hinges 2) use a T-square and tape measure 3) use a drill 4) use a scroll saw

There was a lot going on and he was appropriately pissed off that he was forced to help dad – but by the end he was happy to have made some loud noise, destroyed a bit of the house on purpose and work on a project that he can take credit for each time he sees it every day.
