How did you critter proof it, DD? It seems like the mice out here can get into anything.

We have mice outside, but we also have ants, 'possums, raccoons, blackbirds of all kinds, all of which I have caught in my garage if I leave dry goods sit on a shelf for too long with the door open.

As far as the ants and mice, I built it out of "Melamine" board which is particle board with a thin plastic "formica" layer on each side. I also used some scrap unbent guttering roll of flat sheet metal, about sixteen inches up all the way around the bottom. I glued every seam and screwed it all together,  Kind of hard to chew through and anywhere they try there will be evidence.

The ants also get a type of window sealing weatherstrip to contend with.
The doors close onto a rubber gasket. Getting all that worked out and a great double fence latch adjusted to keep it all tight will foil the birds, raccoons and hopefully all the chipmunks as well.

Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Work. Do stuff around the house. Etc.

I'll probably watch the news, too. :zoinks:

Necessity Shopping... as well as finding a variety of wet cat food for Yoshi, and better items to bribe him with so he can get into the house.

Excellent. I'll have to show this to HB. We have the same critters and issues and we could get more use out of our garage beyond using it for HB's tools if we could critter proof it. Our garage is original to the house (1950's) and simply swings forward and up. The raccoons are strong enough to lift it enough to get in. But it's not big enough to park the car in so we use it as a workspace currently.

We're moving my craft space to a corner of the basement family room. Going to keep bringing things downstairs and getting it organized

I would love a basement. Heck, even a spare room would be good. We have a storage room outside but it's tiny.

We're going to replace our old bed with a new one. About time.
