[@HLBear]

Your project foredog is doing a great job keeping you on track. 😊 Nice project - thanks for the advice where things went off plan.

[@soniap5165]

Thank you for sharing your build and talking through the challenges you encountered. Great work! I wish I had this much space to build a large Catio for my kitties. I will be attempting a smaller version.

a nice design and approach - but drilling and screwing into end grain is best to be avoided for longevity and strength.

[@DailyHobbyist]

Thanks for the advice! Always wanting to learn more. Do you have any resources that you can recommend me to help me understand why that would be?

[@sallysmith9771]

​@DailyHobbyist it because the screw basically parts the grain as it goes in. Imagine putting a pencil back into a tin full of pencils, as you push the pencil in, the others all move aside. Pro builders will skew screw/nail at the end, or put a block (often called a scab) on the inside of the corner and screw each end into that across the grain. Perkins Builder Brothers on KZbin is a fantastic channel to follow for learning all things building. Jamie spends a lot of time explaining why they do things the way they do, and what can happen if it's not done properly. They also really welcome viewers questions in comments. 😉

cats dont kill for no reason. it is in their nature, they hunt, they play, they practice. cat's need room to run and play- but outside is too dangerous, including many parasites.

Why are you masking that you have accent, love when someone is multilingual!
