First,
before we started and because we
have a somewhat.... difficult
neighbor, I called the city to
see if we would need a building
permit. They said that as long as
it was under 6'4" we did
not.
We
decided to keep it under 6'4". In
a way that helped quite a lot
since we could recycle the
landscaping timbers. The space
where the enclosure is was part
of my large garden, you can see
one of the raised beds in one of
the shots. I still have 4 which
is plenty. So, instead of buying
8' 4x4's we used the landscaping
timbers. We also bought sod
rather than seed it. We couldn't
bear to wait to let them out. So
that brought the cost up but we
think it's worth
it.
I
can't tell you how good it is to
watch the cats sit and watch the
birds, to walk through the grass
(also eat too much and yak it up,
<sigh>)
Regards.
Mary.
