One of these days I will recount the difficult two weeks we spent taking care of my mom, but why do it now? Today is a day of tasks completed, which is a much nicer thing to contemplate.
First there was this creation, our cat tower. Or rather Boy Kitten's cat tower. We made it because nothing like it existed, or at least with this look. First I bought a bookshelf from Wayfair. Then I realized that this particular piece of furniture couldn't be assembled without 4 hands, so mrguy had to help.
Then we bought 15 rolls of 1/4" sisal rope. 4 or 5 at a time, because who knew that you would need so very many winds of rope to cover something like this? And this also required mrguy, who was very patient and manly and staple gun-owning and operating.
Wait for another shipment of rope.
Wind wind wind.
Add carpet tiles, hot glue and vintage carpet tacks.
Voila!
Turns out that the cat will need other shelves along with the custom-made cat bookshelf in order to get to the top of the people bookshelves (the original mission). But he has already made it to the 4th shelf (not pictured), and it is good.
One task down today!
