Honestly, the only plan he had was to keep the cost down and use as many already owned materials as possible. The depth of the box was determined by the fact that we used the largest piece of plywood we had. The artificial turf was left over from a neighbor’s project. The cat shelves were fencing posts cut down to size. The only major purchase was the roll of extra tough pet screen, which was about $100 a roll. All said and done the the project turned out really well and the cats are purrrr-fectly happy.
