Vores nye løbegårde og kattehus/ Our new runs and cat house

Vi flyttede ind i huset i Ringsted i April 2005 og gik straks i gang med, at lave løbegårde til kattene. Senere på sommeren gik vi så i gang med, at lave et kattehus til kattene, så de havde et sted at være når vi var på arbejde, da vi kunne se, at vi ikke kunne nå, at få lavet indgangspartiet og førstesalen færdig inden vinteren. Vores løbegårde ligger 10 - 15 meter fra huset, så kattene har ikke direkte adgang fra huset ud i løbegårdene og det er derfor vores indgangsparti skal færdiglaves så vi får en mellem-løbegård/forgård, hvor kattene kan gå direkte ud i løbegårdene fra huset. Det er planen, at indgangspartiet og førstesalen skal laves i juli/august 2006. I mellemtiden har vi haft travlt med, at male huset, som mildest talt har været misligeholdt, lavet en ekstra løbegård og lavet om på 2 af vores løbegårde, så der blev plads til et rigtig klatrestativ til vores katte:-) Udover de planlagte ting der skal ske i år, skal vi have lave et nyt soveværelse i stueetagen og i 2007 skal køkkenet laves helt om. Badeværelset trænger også til en kærlig hånd og vores værksted trænger til, at blive pudset op samt malet, så der er stadigvæk RIGELIGT at gå i gang med:-)

We moved into the house in Ringsted in April 2005 og immidiately started to make runs for the cats. Later that summer we made a huge cat house for the cats to be in while we were at work, because we could see that we would not be able to finish the fenching in the front area of the house or the first floor before winter. Our runs are placed 10 - 15 meters from the house, which means that they don't have direct access from the house to the runs, so that's why it's vital for us to have the front area of the house finished, because then the cats will have a fenched in area they can pass through on their way to the runs. Our plan is to finish the front area and the first floor in July/August 2006. In the mean time we have been busy painting the house outside, who was in a very poorly condition, made an extra run to the cats and redone 2 of the runs from last year, making room for a climbing post that the cats were lacking:-) Besides the thigns that is already planed this year, we also need to make a new bedroom in the ground floor and in 2007 we need to redo the whole kitchen from scratch. The bathroom could also do with a make-over and our workshop needs to have it's outside walls worked on, so there's still PLENTY of work for us:-)
