The cat house – part 1

This is part one of a personal carpentry project whose stages were recorded on video: building a cat house for our two kittens. Here are the other parts:

The materials used are a mix of reclaimed and leftover lumber, insulation and double-pane glass from the renovation of our place. Instead of letting them go to waste, I decided to build a solid shelter that could withstand the cold temperatures of the coming winter and also provide adequate insulation and ventilation against the summer heat.

In this video clip, I show the frame and the joints of the cat house. You’ll also get to see our two kittens.
