Cat balcony

In the jeep, going home from the pet supplies store.

Today is all about the cats. I showed the kitties today their cat balcony, which was supposed to be a catio but was badly executed. Obviously, my contractor doesn’t have pets, especially cats.

My contractor and I were not able to understand each other because I wasn’t able to draw the plans on paper 🤦🏻‍♀️. Eventually, I would have to rectify this by adding a wire fence.

My stairs are nearly finished, probably this week it’s going to be fully painted. The tiles are done but are just covered now to save it from the spray paint. I’m still debating whether I should put a bistro table and chairs on that halfway landing or should I use that as a station for my garbage bins 🤔

Once this is all done, the Ikea Trones I bought will be drilled against the external wall to organize the girls’ shoes. Photo by CallMeCreation.com

I will have this cleared and underneath the stairs will be planted with crab grass to help absorb rainwater. The right side will have creepers like roses or bougainvillea. This is the pathway leading to the laundry area.

After I have recovered from the cost of this build, I will have a huge canopy installed to protect this staircase from the rain. My contractor is already drawing plans. But it seems like the solar power system would be more urgent than this so my savings would have to be diverted to solar power installation.

Walking from our house to go outside the campus to buy eggs and cat litter.

This is the best time to do a bit of small item-shopping. At sunset. Not too hot and not too busy.

Tomorrow I need to drive to Makati to attend a stockholders meeting again. I will drive the Toyota Vios though because my big car’s plate number is banned on Mondays. 🙄
