This is our old cat/pig food house. When we first moved here and were living in the rv trailer, we set up this elaborate pen for our pigs and cats. This was back in January '07 so we built this little shed outta scrap to pen up the cats for a couple of weeks in the hope they'd stick around. With my allergies, and the cramped conditions, there was no way we could add six cats (1--3/4 feral) to me, Ossie, a pregnant Molly, and two dogs (at that time) to the trailer so this was where they ended up.
I don't think the pen with it's three types of fence held The Orange Cat (the feral one) more than a day or two. After about a week, Tim found his way out and to our saddness, hit the road. In short time, all the cats found their way in and out of the pen. Soon, the pigs busted out and now everybody wanders fenceless. With it's disuse, we decided to turn this structure into a garden shed and play house for Ossie and Matilda.
First step was to move it down the hill closer to the garden. I enjoy moving things like this but sort of approached this one recklessly, relying mostly on rigging and the Rav to drag this thing down hill. Though you can't see it here, I also used some logs as rollers to ease the friction of the skids on the ground. I did most of this around hanging out with the kids so it took a couple of days but it's now sitting nice where we want it.
