Well, it is outdoors on the patio!
It still needs finishing touches, but it is functional.
I finished off all that was needed in order for it to go outside in one go.
A helluva lot of work, I really did too much but once it was out of the garage, I had no choice.
The point being that I couldn't put the roof sections on until getting it out of the garage as it wouldn't fit through the door with the roof.
But I first still had to do the bottom floor, then the legs.
Next was getting it off of my improvised work bench on my own. It's too big to lift for me, so I let it slide down over a plank, praying the plank would stay in place.
Then it turned out it didn't fit through the door after all so I had to unscrew a thingie from the doorframe.
As soon as it stood outside, Roosje ran to it and jumped right in to have a good nose around, haha. She even went through the passage to the lower cathouse!
Getting the larger back roof to hinge was nightmarish, hihi.
I had worked on getting it ready the entire afternoon and wasn't done until 9 in the evening.
I was shattered! But... also happy!!
It's been out for some 5-6 days now.
Yet, they didn't go in it so now I open the catflaps during the day so both cats see and know they can get into it.
The other day Nila went in, had a good nose around as she totally disappeared, then came out again. I happened to spot it and quickly took some photos
I will get some straw to put in the house. Straw repels moisture, keeps warm when cold and warm cools when hot.
Cats can burrow in it as well.
As I said, still needs finishing touches, like doing something so the roof cannot be blown open or off during storms.
And I intend to put something against that roof on the inside otherwise it's like an echo box in there when it rains. It's gotta be pleasant so they will actually use it.
And that brown plank will get painted English red. But for now kinda fed up with it, hihi. It'll come!
