There is currently much grinding, sawing, interspersed with jack-hammering going on as I sit here in my comfy home cave. We've got a bit of renovation going. We have a back patio slab of cement that sits fully exposed in the southwest corner of our east-facing house.
I've never attempted it, but I bet I could throw some pork loin out there mid-morning and have sliders by dinnertime. The place is a slab of hotness in summertime - unfit for human habitation. We've made do by putting out a couple of small tables outfitted with big umbrellas. And that's just to create some shade. The "patio" is still uninhabitable. And the umbrella cloth has become as fragile as the Shroud of Turin after all that sun exposure.

So our reno project is to extend our roof over the space and enclose it - a screen room, as they say.
If all goes according to plan, the cat will, no doubt, believe it's for him. A proper "catio". There will be no sense in arguing.
Napolion, our cat. We didn't name him, but it suits him.

More shade! great decision and I am sure Napoleon AND the pooch will be appreciative- They are probably thinking "it's about time, human"...they have been sending telepathic messages to you for quite some time, but now it ihas become critical- the sun will be unrelenting as we move on into "warming". So, good job, you!
Napoleon is such a lovely cat!
Having a space that is comfortable and fun, rather than having hot feet, sounds good. I love being outside. Hope you get to enjoy that soon.
Linda Sue, now that you mention it, it probably WAS the animals' idea the whole time!
Happy Whisk, fingers crossed!
But, it *is* for the cat, isn't it? At least that's what he thinks, and the cat is always right (jusst ask him, he'll tell you)...
Protection so your pets don’t get eaten? 🙄🤣
John, the cat is the alpha of the entire household.
Fresca, I see what you did there 😏
