Wednesday Woodworking – Kitty Ladder Number 2

and now for some bad photography.  Here is the second kitty ladder for the cat room:

The ladder is the diagonal line going over the medieval torture device know as an “Exercise Bike.”

The room through the widow is Heather’s art studio.

The cat room is long and narrow so it was difficult to get any other angle but here’s a second bad shoot:

I took about 20 seconds to set this one up. Oh look, you can see the deck I built.

If I had more time this morning, I’d explain that this photo is really an artistic piece intended to show the various layers and paths or lives take.

Sadly, I don’t have time to do that so it’s back to my day job before the boss catches me posting to my blog, again…

If you need me – I’ll be in the shop,

Wednesday – Irrigation

This last weekend was an irrigation project for me.  The drip irrigation system we had just wasn’t working and the amount of upkeep was just too much to maintain it.  The cats didn’t help matters by constantly running through the garden and deciding that the small spray heads were fun toys.

So, We’ve gone back to a more industrial strength, lower maintenance spray system for the front garden.  Saturday I dug the trenches and placed the pipe:

Don’t you just love where my gloves are? It’s why I have to shovels to dig with.

Then on Sunday afternoon I tested the system and filled in the trenches.

and I swept the walkways.

That’s how I spent my Easter weekend.

If you need me – I’ll be digging a trench,

Andrew
