Luna loves her new scratching box.

Continuing on with making the spa cover I’ve reinforced the corners with paling off-cuts.

The whole thing now holds it’s shape quite well when picked up and moved around.

Next job is to clean up the spa area and for me to make a new cover. I’ve already been working in that area to cut down and remove the spa pergola and the main reason for doing that job at that time was to have some more timber available to build the spa box – which was the last job.

The spa was never used, all that’s left of the cover is deteriorating Styrofoam panels.

Moving on from the sides last stage with this job is the front.

Like the top it needs to be removable to access the spa equipment. I’m down to the last of the palings including a few warped ones.

Having completed the spa top cover we can move onto boarding in the sides. About to add a couple of back supports for the palings to screw onto.

Not everything is square here so decided to play safe and ‘screw tack’ the palings on to get the spacing and other stuff right, then run a pencil line down each front pine support for cutting to length.

After some planning and trial layouts we now have a very sturdy frame.

Purchased this last Wednesday so it’s time to unpack and have a play with it here on the balcony computer desk, setup everything and then take it out to the chook run.
