PRO TIP
Print the Cut List and take it to the store. Have the sales rep cut and mark the ply wood and the 2x4's. I cut the trim at home just to make sure that each piece was a perfect fit.
ASSEMBLY
Drill 3 pilot holes along each edge of the 1/2" ply wood. Glue then screw the 1x4 pine trim to 3 sides of the ply wood.

CARPETING
 |
| Carpeting takes time |
 |
| Be patient |
 |
| All done and ready for a cat! |
Allow yourself PLENTY of time to apply the carpet! It took far longer than I expected. Assembling the wooden structure took about an hour. Carpeting took approximately 5 hours (over 2 days)!!

In the end it was worth the effort. The cat is very pleased!!!
This project inspired me to make a bench so that my dog could look out our window. That tutorial is coming soon!
