With only a board up at the new window to be......it couldn't have got any colder.....
minus something or other last night
and now we have a large hole in the wall drying before it gets a new door fitted lol....
Mr T checked it out for us....
the new furball door.....
did some research on cat flaps and found we could get one fitted to the French doors....made some enquiries and our window fitter wanted almost £200 to fit one...gasp!
now l love them dearly but £200....gasp gulp!!!
RETHOUGHT THAT ONE....FAST
£20 FOR A NEW FLAP BUT IT NEEDED A TUNNEL....
Having decided there was room in a wall to fit one but we needed a small tunnel...no pipe the right size so though maybe a bucket would do?
Found one in the garage the exact size we needed..
HOW LUCKY WAS THAT?
Marked the hole.....
oooooh! that's a big one
drilled and chipped and eventually made it big enough...
nice mess too hehehe...
until the hole fit the bucket.....
it passed for size!
filled the spaces with expanding foam and cemented the outside
needs to dry before we can fit the door on the outside but going to work a treat and only £26 in total
How's that for a saving?
Fingers crossed they all use it ok!!
Off to catch up with Downton Abbey now
Hugs all xx
Cats love to explore and you're offering them a tunnel? Of course they'll use it! They'll be queuing up to have a go ;)
ReplyDeleteGood idea. When we had a cat and a larger dog, we put a small door leading from the kitchen to the laundry room. Elizabeth dined in the laundry room and the dog couldn't fit through the small door to eat Lizzie's food. It worked out very well. Oh, and Elizabeth didn't have any problems figuring out the door.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea!! feeling your cold suz!! been in my shed and boy it gets cold hope its not too long till you all sorted xx
ReplyDeleteOh the things we do for our pets! If we put a pet door in, we would have raccoons and possums and all sorts of icky things in the house~~
ReplyDeleteNow that's a cat door!!hehe You're doing such a great job on your remodeling.

ReplyDeleteour old cat could never use the cat flap so we had to have it held open all the time with string!
