    VERY KOOL!!! GREAT BUILD AND VIDEO.. I USE PINE PELLETS IN MY CAT LITTER BOXES. WORKS GREAT. A LITTLE HINT: IT WORKS BETTER AFTER ADDING WATER TO THE PELLETS. THEY EXPAND. I USE A 2 TO 1 RATIO. I PART PELLETS 2 PARTS WATER. THANKS FOR SHARING.

    nice build! im sure youve already heard about the cinder blocks being prone to breaking the way you laid them. their holes need to point up for their full strentgh to be leveraged. Whereabouts in Tucson are ya? im looking at property in the region and am thinking i need to stay north of Marana....cheers and keep up the good work!

    I wonder if you could use the dry earth in abundance around you instead of sawdust or pellets? Might be able to soak up the moisture and smell too and it's freely available?

    • @akmouda

      Might help with the smell but if you don't mix in organic material, you'll just end up with petrified turds

      That’s a really interesting idea! I see someone commented about needing organic material but if I could use it to cut down on dust/pellets that would be cool. I’ll look into it thank you!
