Thank you everyone :smiling_face: I must admit I feel a bit proud :sweat_smile:

Just the roof with some planks to hang stuff inside from like hammocks etcā€¦
Yes the mesh is next and the door.
And then with leftover wood some obstacles inside it - not sure what or how yet but thatā€™s the plan :smiling_face:
I had a really bad 2 days well actually just yesterday and this morning - I kept wanting a drink but I really didnā€™t actually want one, so I kept telling that voice ā€™ Sorry but I donā€™t actually want one thanksā€™.

Yes the cats will love it ā€¦ I hope :sweat_smile:

No drinking friend!!! Just stay hydrated! No alcohol! Iā€™m so proud of you and what youā€™re building here, looks fit for a pair of lions or tigers! Wish I was there, Iā€™d be bringing you lemonade and cookies and carry stuff for you (I have two right hands but Iā€™m left handed).

That means alot to me that you even thought how you could help :purple_heart::purple_heart:
I did think to myself 10 yrs living here and I didnā€™t build a summer house or pergola thingy, instead a huge catio :joy:

Doing a good job :+1:

For me I have to stop when I feel myself getting irritated or just exhausted as this then leads me to moan :sweat_smile:
Still learning this itā€™s a working progress.

Canā€™t wait to see when itā€™s done :white_check_mark:
Itā€™s okay to come back to it. Itā€™s sometimes easier to come back to stuff for me, I come back with fresh eyes and energy.

Getting there @Cjp. Knowing your limits and taking needed breaks is half the battle.

A few months ago, we tried to build nightstands together. Normally, I do these projects by myself to avoid arguments. He does construction for a living and doesnā€™t believe instructions are needed. Iā€™m one that follows each step as written. Weā€™re still married but never finished. Theyā€™re sitting in our guest room. :joy:

Looking forward to seeing your finished product.

I have only just realised I think I was supposed to drill the holes long ways through each end. It will still work with some creativity :wink:

I have a few more parts to add mesh too. But I am waiting up until the end so I can easily put the home made furniture/obstacles inside and still reach my hands through to screw them in to place (still building them too) then just putting it all together should be easy.
Itā€™s going well, bit slower than expected but mainly due to the weather :slightly_smiling_face:
I will defo update when itā€™s done :+1:
