    George, use exterior caulk to fill gaps in your seams and between boards. A little caulk a little paint make carpenter what he ain't. You did a good job overall. Sealing the inside with deck sealer would make it easy to clean. Kitties love a cushion or rug as well. You are so appealing... wish you great continued success.

He & his wife decided to not have children but gave their love & hearts to CATS . Their house usually had at least 4 cats & I LOVED watching my uncle engage & show love to his feline companions .

  • @detcarguymichigan4021

    A simple trick to make putting screws in, is to get some sort of old liquid soap (dishwasher, hands, laundry, etc). Pour some in a small 2-3 inch deep old cap. Then just dip the screw into the soap, let the excess run off and drill in the wood screw. It saves time and effort, especially with older seasoned wood or hard wood.

    This came out so amazing! Love the flowers and rock door plate. Great job for a first build. Betting you could make and sell these for a ton! Thanks for sharing.

    You did an amazing job. I guarantee if I did that for my cats, they would watch me build it, criticise what I'm doing and never step foot in it. Also....Ryobi.... get this man a workbench.

      Aw it's always the same with cats. Get them a bed and they'd rather sleep in an empty cardboard box. Haha nah the doors actually worked out perfectly tbh!
