how does one prioritize when
everything is a priority? there's
so much to do on this house that it's hard to
know what to tackle next. but one thing we knew
for sure
was our indoor cats needed to have an outdoor area
of fresh
air and sunshine, so most of the past two weeks
was dediCATed to
retrofitting the back deck into a catio, a project
which seemed modest and
straightforward at first but turned out to be a
can of worms, requiring first structural
repairs, then a whole lot of milling
salvaged lumber, assembling custom framed
screens,
attaching tall 4x4 posts, and finally putting a
chicken wire lid on it. we cut corners on this
last
step, simply stapled it over the top instead of
building a more elegant framework as planned, but
it's good enough for now and passed sunny's
inspection. it's slightly wonky but open
for business.
