We weren't actually looking for property, but Shaun happened across this beautiful piece of land in Hawaii at a price we couldn't refuse.... We had a nice condo near the water. And a big Alaska vacation coming up the end of July.... But this was perfect for us, and perfect for the cats.... And on the day before we left for our trip, all the papers became finalized!
One of the first things we did was get rid of all the appliances and a lot of garbage that was left. A couple weeks later, after making sure there wasn't anything else hiding in the grass, We rented a Bush Cutter and heavy duty weed wacker to cut down the tall stuff. Then we borrowed a riding mower from Nick to get it down even more. What a difference! (Yes that's a beer in the drivers hand...)
Next big job is building a cattery, so we can get the cats out there! They are going to love it! We've been going there every weekend, Working hard all day, and spending the night. Usually after it gets dark we watch the stars awhile, if it's not raining... then watch a movie on Shauns computer... until the battery dies... One can tell it is getting closer to winter... Raining more and more....
We found some free steel barrels for rain catchment. And 2 cast iron bath tubs! 1 for baths, the other as a garden bed or ? We also got some free chain link fence... to start making the cat enclosure..... You can see the shed in back and Shaun pulling weeds...
Found the instructions on the web! Turned out pretty good I think!
