Helper: Where the cat will be while you work:
Weekend 1: the wall highway
| Time | Job | Hours | Done / notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landlord's yes (if renting); wall scanned for cables and pipes | |||
| Studs found and marked from one zero; route drawn | |||
| Cut boards, post foot and slats; sand the edges | |||
| Finish edges and undersides; carpet the tops | |||
| The wait: wrap the sisal post | |||
| Brackets into the studs; boards on, level | |||
| Bridge: eye bolts, slats on ropes, hang, set the sag | |||
| Post stood and anchored; every step tested by hand | |||
The wait. Finish dry and cured (as the can says) before the cat uses the shelves:
Weekend 2: the window catio
| Time | Job | Hours | Done / notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cut the 2x2s; build and square the box frame | |||
| Legs, braces, floor; finish the frame | |||
| Mesh stapled on; cut ends folded in; the door | |||
| Fixed at the window; screen out; shelf, shade, water | |||
First visits. Stay with the cat for the first few times in the catio. Date of first visit:
The book plans about 12.5 hours for the wall highway and 9.5 for the catio. Time your first bracket and plan the rest from it.
