Aug 23 Great Escape

In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

Terry Pratchett

My cats are not Gods they are demons. Today is another day. I found that my cat-proof door wasn’t so cat-proof. I lost six females cats to the inside of my garage. Bad thing is I have to open the doors wide tomorrow or the next day to go and get a few things in the village. If they get outside I will never see them again.

Big update one of the females was in the boys room, she was hiding inside a wall. She had been there for two days. I brought poor old sophie back inside to the female side of the house I pray that she has not been impregnated. I have too many and my outside cat looks like she is carrying ten more.

Just worked on securing my old office from cat invasion.
Que in maniacal evil laugh.

“They shall not escape again”

One more piece of osb at the top and it will be ready to insulate. I have plenty of old fiber glass insulation around. But is terrible stuff, it retains moisture, gets moldy and the mice and carpenter ants love it.
I like the rockwool stuff better. I should only need one bag.
I just retrieved two pies of osb, wrestled them into place and I am winded. I got a little concerned when I felt my back spasm.

Anyways taking a break it is noon.

Made it out to the back deck. The angle I have to work on is extremely painful on my back, so i decided to try to do 6 boards a day. I think I can manage that. Maybe more, we will see how the body holds out.

Just did the litter boxes. Yuck that included scraping the floor. Captured one of the escapees and then saw Sophie had re-escaped.. I didn’t win on that.

I was about to take down my mosquito net, as I was doing the litter boxes outside I passed through a shady area. I was immediately covered in a swarm hiding from the afternoon heat.

I think I will wait until we have had a good frost.
