The foundation is a wooden frame bolted into the concrete, with bricks mainly for decoration:

The back frame is built from wood and bolted to the rear wall of the house:

Believe it or not, just this took a whole day (about 8 full hours, if you include the trips to Screwfix, Wickes & Homebase).

Tomorrow:

  1. Add a front frame
  2. Add plywood sides and roof.
  3. Probably I will make one side out of a sheet of perspex so there is a bit of light and she can see out.
  4. The roof will be hinged so we can change the cat litter.
  5. Add a cat flap in one side.

Future jobs:

  1. Seal around the sides so air/water can’t get in.
  2. Add some lead flashing maybe.
  3. Paint it!

I like to think she’s dreaming about chasing blackbirds.

It’s bloody hard to take photos of her because she doesn’t stop moving …

“Now I want to go to sleep!”

It’s our white duck / mallard couple. I wonder if they will have spotted ducklings?
