The CAT RUN - early Days

when we moved in 9 months ago the cat run was a priority ! As it happens other things take over priority so now we are heading down that pathway of 'getting there' and a cat run is now underway. woohoo.

a few videos here but more on my youtube channel and if you find the playlist titled 'the outdoor cat run'

a day or two before getting down to building the cat run - or part thereof

an inspection of what has been built a day or two later since our conversation (above)

the next couple of days later an inspection of the partial build of the cat run ... the run, tunnel and out into the pen - a smaller version of the pen just to get a cat out ... as it happens that was Millie - she did the test run of the facility. The gingers are not yet going to go out ... one of them Kimba would be just fine but Archie is a surefire Houdini and looks for every opportunity to escape ... he doesnt go anywhere he just loves the 'chase'... so here is the inspection of the partial build as it happened.

this is the playlist on our youtube channel to see the progress of the catpen.

THE CHALLENGE OF THE GAZEBO

Once they got going it didn't take them long notwithstanding it took a long time sitting in the shade discussing what to do and what not to do. And what problems could there be before even unpacking the box. Short video as I head down, from the back of the house, on the bike to the block where they are putting up the Gazebo - this on top of the deck they put together a couple of weeks ago. looking good. Followed by some candid shots during the setup.

A BUSHFIND & clearing out the Cypress hedge

In the middle of a cleared thicket of cypress we found this cute fellow who is begging to be repainted. Any ideas ? One of the first jobs we tackled was to cut back a row of cypress that had overgrown the driveway up to the house. They can be seen on the left of the picture in the image below. A huge job that went quicker than i anticipated - man with a truck and a mulcher and 3 days later it was cleared. Now to plant it out.

LUNCH on a brilliant Tassie Summer Day + #Snowcone

A late lunch after spending some time in the garden, the vegetable patch and a full morning for me in the studio. Roast pork, potatoes, homity pie and lettuce and tomatoes. The plastic bag on the table is to take down to #Snowcone after we finish ours. She gets the outer leaves of vegetables out of the patch and tomatoe tops, potato skins and other kitchen scraps. #Snowcone is quite the feature on our youtube channel. She is such a sweet natured dairy cow, now in retirement; my first experience with such a thing, at close quarters. When we feed her hay and pellets and I take down kitchen scrap snacks every couple of days to her, she is surrounded by turbo chook s and Walter our one-eyed wallaby. A couple of videos of #Snowcone below. Happy with these plants recently planted in various placements on the front block. I am now getting confused with my norths and souths so, I know which is the eastern block but this one out front is being called the front block...
