I started the cat condo
Dunno why I put it off for so long. The whole clowder is fascinated watching
me, and I keep telling them it's gonna be their special palace - not for being very big or fancy, but for being built by their meowmie's own hands and being one-of-a-kind. Pics will follow upon completion.... |

Yes, I'm using materials that I've hading laying around forever, even the sisal rope has been with me since Arizona (in the ex's stuff - didn't know it was here until the other day), so the cost is nil. I didn't get any tubes for this one. Eventually I'll build another, with tubes. I'm amazed at the one with seven platforms, all for just *one* cat! Can't let anyone here see that or I'll get nagged half to death! |

Can't let anyone here see that or I'll get nagged half to death! What kind of tubes are you talking about? DH uses these things that are used to ship equipment to his work. It's a pressed cardboard tube about 1" thick, 15" diameter, couple of feet long (cut to fit). He gets them free. Some people use "concrete forms" that you buy at Home Depot. When he builds for the humane society, I can usually get carpet & lumber donated. One bit of info. I did pick up was when I was looking for 4X4's. All they had was treated lumber in stock. The lumberyard guy told me that treated lumber (like landscape timbers) contains arsenic. So that's something I do'nt think I"d use, especially if it's not covered with carpet. That was new info. to me. Sherry |

I read a warning about this several years ago in a gardening magazine.
